Business Analyst

We are looking for a Business Analyst to support performance planning, forecasting, and financial analysis across our retail and e-commerce business. Reporting to the Planning & Performance Manager, you will turn data into the insight that guides commercial and management decisions, with a strong focus on business performance and profitability.

This is a hands-on, analytical role for someone who is comfortable moving between sales performance, forecasting, and the numbers behind the P&L, across both physical retail and digital channels.

What you'll do:

Business analysis and performance

• Analyze business performance on a weekly, monthly, and seasonal basis, turning data into clear insight and actionable recommendations for management and merchandising teams.

• Build and maintain forecasting and sales projection models across markets, channels, and store clusters (flagship, department store, outlet), supporting demand planning and OTB definition.

• Analyze sell-through, stock exposure, and product rotation to identify risks and opportunities, and recommend corrective actions to improve performance and stock efficiency.

Financial performance and profitability

• Support P&L analysis and reporting, monitoring operating costs and margins to ensure alignment with financial targets.

• Track profitability by channel, category, and initiative, providing the analysis needed to support pricing and investment decisions.

• Contribute to budgeting and forecasting cycles with structured analysis and performance projections.

Reporting and business intelligence

• Develop and maintain an advanced reporting and KPI framework, fostering a data-driven culture across the team.

• Prepare periodic performance reviews and reporting packages that bring the numbers to the decision-making table, not just to the file.

What we're looking for:

• 2 to 4 years of experience in business analysis, planning, FP&A, or a similar analytical role, ideally in retail, fashion, or e-commerce.

• Academic background in Economics, Business, Finance, Engineering, or a related field.

• Strong analytical mindset, comfortable working across both commercial performance and financial data (sales, margin, P&L, cost).

• Advanced Excel is essential. Power BI (or a comparable BI tool) is a strong plus, as our reporting runs on it.

• Ability to translate analysis into clear, decision-ready recommendations for non-analytical stakeholders.

• Precise, organized, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.

• Fluent English; Italian is a plus given the Milan base.

Nice to have:

• Experience with forecasting or demand planning models.

• Exposure to P&L and profitability analysis.

• Familiarity with a multi-channel or multi-format retail network.

What we offer:

• Compensation package up to €35,000 gross annual salary, plus meal vouchers.

• Learning & Development Programs: continuous learning experiences with TLG University and other projects.

• Be part of a young (31 on average) and international (+30 nationalities) group and work in a dynamic and fast-moving environment.

At The Level Group, we believe diverse perspectives and experiences make stronger teams. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds, nationalities, identities, and abilities. If you require any accommodation during the interview process, please let us know and we will be happy to support you.
