About Dune Advisors
We are a boutique management consulting firm specializing in providing strategic advisory, transformation and deal execution support to clients across Life Sciences, CPG and Manufacturing. Based in the UK, our team works closely with large global organizations to drive impactful change through conceptualization, design, and implementation of company-wide Transformation programs and Transactions. We pride ourselves on delivering innovative, result-oriented solutions and are seeking an experienced Strategy and Data Analytics lead to join our team and support high-impact transformation engagements
The Role
You'll own the analytical engine behind our most important client engagements, turning messy, complex data into the clarity that drives executive decisions. You'll lead work across strategy, operating model design, and commercial performance, building the dashboards, models, and narratives that move organisations from diagnosis to action. Your role is to define the questions that need asking and translate that into what data / information needs to be sourced. This isn't a back-office analytics role. You'll be in the room with senior / executive stakeholders asking questions, shaping recommendations and driving implementation. It's an opportunity to do work that influences outcomes, embeds change, and build the analytics muscle in our growing firm.
You'll be based in London, working from the office 3-4 days a week.
What you'll do
- Work directly with clients and internal teams to frame business problems and design the right analytical approach to solve them.
- Lead end-to-end data analysis, extraction, transformation, modelling, and cleansing across large, multi-source datasets to support commercial and operational decision-making.
- Structure, analyse, and synthesise large and complex datasets to generate actionable insights that inform client strategic decisions.
- Translate analytical findings into sharp, actionable recommendations and develop executive-ready materials that maintain momentum through complex transformation programmes.
- Conduct deep‑dive industry, market, and competitive analyses, including market sizing, growth projections, benchmarking, and financial modelling
- Manage end‑to‑end delivery of analytics and strategic projects, ensuring high‑quality outputs and timely milestones.
- Partner effectively with internal teams and external vendors to ensure seamless project delivery.
- Apply a broad range of analytical methodologies, including valuation, financial statement analysis, customer segmentation, and performance diagnostics.
- Build and optimise Power BI dashboards and reports that give clients a clear, real-time view of performance.
- Contribute to the development of new insights & analytics products, tools, and best practices.
- Present meaningful insights and solutions to senior stakeholders with clarity, structure, and conviction.
- Foster a collaborative, curious, and high‑performance team culture.
- Identify opportunities for up‑sell and cross‑sell within existing accounts.
Requirements
- 7 or more years of management consulting experience, including recent tenure at a top-tier strategy/management consulting firm.
- Deep proficiency in Power BI including DAX, data modelling, and dashboard development alongside broader experience with data analytics and financial modelling tools.
- A strong commercial instinct and strategic mindset: you understand business drivers, value levers, and how to surface opportunity from financial and operational data.
- The ability to synthesise complexity into clear, compelling narratives, both on paper and in the room.
- Experienced in storyboarding and crafting visually engaging presentations for senior audiences.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders.
- A self-starter who thrives with autonomy, takes ownership of problems, and moves quickly in a fast-paced consulting environment.
