About the Role
We are seeking a commercially astute and analytical Commercial / Pricing Analyst to join our growing team.
This is a pivotal role focused on developing bottom-up cost models to support competitive tenders, bids, and client solutions within Facilities Management.

You will sit at the heart of our pre-sales/bid process directly influencing how we win work through strong commercial modelling and pricing strategy.
This is not a traditional FP&A or reporting role.

- Translate service specifications and operational solutions into costed, deliverable models
- Ensure pricing is competitive, robust, and aligned to client requirements and delivery capability

- Support the development of business cases and commercial submissions
- Contribute to the ongoing development of pricing tools, templates, and methodologies
Cross-functional Collaboration

Continuous Improvement
- Identify opportunities to improve cost modelling accuracy, efficiency, and consistency
- Stay informed on FM and outsourcing market trends to ensure pricing remains competitive
About You
We’re looking for a commercially driven individual with strong analytical capability and experience operating within pricing, bids, or operational cost modelling environments.
Essential Requirements

- Proven experience supporting tenders / RFPs / bids within Facilities Management, outsourcing, or service-based environments
- Strong experience building bottom-up, labour-driven cost models
- Experience pricing multi-site or contract-based services
- Advanced Excel skills (building large, complex pricing models)
- Ability to work with operations to define staffing models and delivery approaches
- Strong commercial mindset with the ability to balance risk, margin and competitiveness
Highly Desirable
- Background in Facilities Management (FM) – soft services, hard services, or IFM
