The Head of Analytics leads the group’s analysis, data and digital capability. The role leads modelling, transaction analysis and market data for Union Maritime, alongside the digitalisation and automation agenda. It uses data, analytics, automation and AI to improve the speed, quality and consistency of decision-making, and owns the models, tools and data foundations that the business relies on.

The new Head should bring strong technical and digital depth: hands-on credibility in data, financial modelling, BI, automation and applied AI, and the leadership to modernise how the group works with data.

Requirements

Transaction analysis and modelling

·         Lead the analytical evaluation of vessel acquisitions and disposals, newbuilding investments, fleet renewal and optimisation, and other strategic transactions across the group.

·         Build, own and modernise the group’s analytical and financial models, applying consistent standards, assumptions and version control.

·         Provide the analysis and models that underpin deals and transactions, including scenario and sensitivity analysis across varying market conditions.

·         Set modelling standards, templates and review processes so that transaction analysis is robust, consistent and auditable.

·         Present analysis and recommendations clearly to senior leadership.

The Business Analytics Manager will partner with divisions across Union Maritime to design, build and embed the analytical tools that underpin decision-making, management reporting and the day-to-day running of the business.

Sitting between the Analytics function and the wider organisation, the Manager will work alongside commercial, operations, technical, finance and corporate teams to understand how they work, pinpoint where time, insight or control is being lost, and deliver practical solutions: dashboards, self-service reporting, models, automated workflows and AI-enabled tools.

This is a change role as much as a technical one. The Manager is expected to think critically, challenge current ways of working and lead divisions away from manual, fragmented processes towards simpler, data-driven and automated ones. Working closely with divisional heads and senior leadership, the Manager will build data literacy across the business, set consistent data standards, and make sure the tools delivered are adopted and create lasting value.

Requirements

Driving Change & Challenging Current Practice

· Critically review how divisions currently work, including their processes, reports, spreadsheets and handoffs, and challenge practices that are manual, duplicated, slow or no longer fit for purpose.
