Commercial Analyst

Location: Remote (Australia-based preferred)

Engagement Type: Contract role

Commitment: 2–3 days per week, initial 3-month engagement

Knobby is seeking a Contract Commercial Analyst to help us build out foundational tools and insights that directly support better commercial decision-making. This is not a finance admin or reporting role — it’s about value-add analysis and decision support, working directly with our Chief Growth Officer and Chief Revenue Officer.

If you love making sense of numbers and shaping strategy, this role will give you the chance to create real impact in a high-growth FMCG brand.

🔑 Key Focus Areas

• Build a GMROI scorecard to guide inventory rebuy/sell-out decisions
• Develop sell-through views by design/SKU
• Create functional scorecards and dashboards for visibility across the business
• Improve forecasting accuracy and processes
• Assess paid media and promotional effectiveness
• Conduct trading trend analysis (vs. LY and vs. target)
• Provide competitor tracking and market insights
• Perform margin mix and profitability analysis
• Support financial performance benchmarking (e.g., ROCE)

🛠 Our Current Setup

• Shopify as our core commercial data source
• GA4 for behavioural insights
• AWS-based data warehouse (“The Lobby”)

🌍 Working Style & Location

We’re fully open to remote work. Our C-Suite team spend their time across our HQ on the Sunshine Coast, Sydney, and Melbourne. To align upfront, we can also arrange an in-person scoping session in any of these locations.

👤 About You

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in commercial analysis, FP&A, or a related role
• Strong background in FMCG analysis (must-have)
• Proven ability to distil insights for C-Suite decision-making
• Hands-on experience partnering with senior leaders (GMs, CGOs, CROs)
