Our roster has an opening with your name on it

The Commercial Analyst will work closely with the Commercial Analytics Manager to deliver insights on online Racing market dynamics, competitive trends, and business performance which will drive strategic decision-making.

• Analyze marketing and promo efficiency — cohort targeting, spend allocation, and campaign performance
• Support the team’s commercial forecasting and budgeting process, translating analytics, strategy, and market signals into forecast assumptions and helping explain plan-to-actual variance.
• Partner with Product to assess the pre- and post-launch impact of product changes, layering in how customer KPIs respond.
• Partner cross-functionally with teams such as Product, Marketing, Strategy, Finance, and Analytics to connect external market insights with internal performance and strategic initiatives

• Translate complex data and analyses into clear narratives and recommendations, tailored to senior stakeholders and decision-makers
• Help build and maintain scalable self-service tools and dashboards (e.g., Tableau, Databricks) that improve access to external insights across the organization, and contribute to the team’s reusable, AI-assisted workflows for reporting and ad hoc analysis
