Role Title: Strategy Analyst
Division: CEO Office
Location: London
Contract: Permanent
Working pattern: Hybrid
About the Role
The CEO Office sits at the heart of the organisation, helping senior leaders navigate complex challenges, make informed decisions and turn strategy into action.
As an Analyst, you'll work alongside the Manager and Senior Manager to answer some of the business's most important strategic, commercial, and operational questions. You'll transform data into insights and recommendations that shape decisions across Rathbones.
This role offers a unique opportunity to develop commercial acumen, gain exposure to senior stakeholders, and make a meaningful impact on the future direction of Rathbones, making it an excellent foundation for a future business leader.
We are a small, ambitious, and high-performing team. We work together to solve problems, support each other during busy periods, and maintain exceptionally high standards.
The environment is fast-paced and often unstructured. Priorities can move quickly, and not every problem arrives with a clearly defined brief or obvious answer.
Success comes from being intellectually curious, comfortable with ambiguity, and willing to take ownership.
In return, you will gain exposure at C-Suite level, responsibility, and learning opportunities.
What you’ll be responsible for
You will be responsible for generating the insight that helps the business understand its performance, identify opportunities, and challenge assumptions. You will:
- Develop the analytical foundation that underpins strategic discussion and decision-making across the business.
- Interrogate large and complex data sets, identify patterns, uncover opportunities, challenge assumptions, and help the team develop evidence-based recommendations.
- Leverage AI and analytical tools to accelerate research, modelling, and insight generation.
- Support business planning, forecasting, and performance monitoring activities.
You won't simply report what happened. You'll help explain why it happened, why it matters, and what should happen next.
A key part of the role is transforming information, analysis, and competing viewpoints into concise, compelling, and actionable narratives. You will:
- Turn analysis into clear, executive-level messages and recommendations.
- Develop presentations, papers, and briefing materials for senior stakeholders.
- Distill complex issues into the critical insights that matter most.
- Tailor communication for different audiences, from working teams through to Executive Committee and Board-level discussions.
- Connect data, commercial context, and strategic implications into a coherent story.
- Help ensure outputs are decision-ready, not simply information-rich.
- Continuously improve the quality, consistency, and impact of the team's outputs.
