[Remote] Strategic Planning Analyst

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Genus PLC is an agricultural biotechnology pioneer and a global leader in animal genetics. They are seeking a Strategic Planning Analyst who will analyze business performance using financial data and market trends, providing actionable insights to support decision-making across commercial and operational areas.

Responsibilities

• Analyze business performance and opportunities using a combination of financial data, operational metrics, market trends and dynamics, and qualitative inputs to understand trends, risks, and opportunities
• Synthesize large volumes of information quickly, forming hypotheses, pressure-testing them, and refining insights as new data emerges
• Partner closely with commercial and operational leaders to interpret business results and provide decision-oriented guidance, not just reporting
• Develop insights related to internal business performance, as well as broader industry and adjacent market dynamics
• Translate analysis into clear narratives and recommendations that resonate with non-financial stakeholders
• Ask thoughtful follow-up questions, challenge assumptions constructively, and help leaders think differently about the data in front of them
• Focus on insight generation and interpretation, rather than budgeting, forecasting cycles, or P&L ownership

Skills

• Approximately 8+ years of experience in strategy, business analysis, consulting, or analytically driven roles with strong business exposure
• A strong financial and analytical foundation, without being narrowly focused on accounting, budgeting, or traditional FP&A
• Experience taking a consulting-style approach: framing ambiguous problems, structuring analysis, and guiding stakeholders toward informed decisions
• Demonstrated ability to combine quantitative analysis with qualitative judgment to explain what the data means for the business
• Excellent people and communication skills—especially the ability to engage stakeholders, ask the right follow-up questions, and influence through insight
• Comfort working with ambiguity and learning a business quickly by absorbing context, connecting dots, and validating assumptions
• A track record of delivering actionable insights, not just analysis for analysis' sake
• Experience supporting commercial and operational teams rather than purely corporate finance
• Exposure to industry analysis, market intelligence, or strategy development
• Background in internal strategy, management consulting, or hybrid analytics roles
