Description
At Porter Dodson, we're investing in a new and exciting capability within our Marketing & Business Development team and have an opportunity for a business development data analyst to work on a hybrid basis in either our Taunton, Yeovil or Exeter office on a full time, permanent basis.
We're looking for a curious, analytical and commercially minded individual who loves working with data, uncovering insights and helping shape business decisions. This is not a traditional sales or networking role. Instead, you'll become the driving force behind the market intelligence and data analysis that supports our future growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Collect and analyse client, market and sector data.
- Identify trends, opportunities and competitor activity.
- Build and maintain dashboards and reports using Power BI and Microsoft tools.
- Conduct market research and targeted prospect analysis.
- Support strategic business development initiatives through data-led insights.
- Monitor tender and bid opportunities.
- Provide meaningful intelligence to support decision-making across the firm.
- Help identify new ways to use technology, data and AI to improve business development activity.
