Are you able to tell the story behind the numbers? Do you enjoy working with large datasets? Is thinking of elegant solutions to complex problems something you excel in? If so, continue reading below and apply today!

We are now looking for three full time Data Analyst / Business Analyst to join the RELEX family in Helsinki, Finland. You’ll join our Presales Analytics team of highly skilled analysts, consultants and technical writers. The main goal of Presales Analytics is to provide tangible proof to our prospects to convince them on the value we will bring to them. You will help us in reaching this goal by performing challenging simulations and analysis to model the business impact of RELEX on world’s leading retail companies. On top of that, you will build product demos, answer RFPs and actively participate in developing our internal working methods and tools. The role is mostly back office, but you will work closely with customer facing colleagues in Sales as well as our Product teams.

Here at RELEX we believe in transparency and using common sense; putting an end to stupid things and treating your colleagues as your friends are some of our core values. We are serious about what we do, but don’t take ourselves too seriously. We get excited when facing new challenges where we can put our skills to the test, but make sure to have fun while doing so.

Even though we are recruiting with two possible titles, your daily work will not be strongly affected depending on which title you’d end up joining with.

What you’ll be doing:

As a Data or Business Analyst, you will be working with our most important sales cases, so you can expect a challenging, fast-paced yet rewarding environment. You will be drawing insights from big data sets and applying these findings into reality to drive commercial impact. Mapping prospect processes and use cases to our software is also an integral part of your work. In addition to analysis work, you will be developing our standard sales tools and provide support to our customer facing colleagues. You’ll get to understand the more theoretical side of retail through answering RFPs and building demos to customer specific scenarios.

Your main tools will be our in-house RELEX software as well as some of the most common data wrangling tools. As every prospect is different and we frequently charter into new territories, your work will allow you to think outside of the box and to take initiative on a daily basis.

What you’ll bring to the table:

• Experience in manipulating and analyzing big data sets (millions of rows) with e.g. R, Python, or SQL
• Sense for business: good understanding of customer needs and of how to simplify complex results into commercial outputs
• Advanced problem-solving skills, prioritization and project management skills
• Ability to learn fast and work under pressure with tight deadlines
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• High work ethic and motivation towards strongly sales related work
• Finished or close to finished university degree from a relevant field

Relevant degree programs include but are not limited to Information and Service Management, Physics, Mathematics, Automation & Systems Technology, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science and Economics.

What we consider as advantages:

• Relevant work experience e.g. from consulting or logistics management
• Basic programming skills (e.g. Ruby, command line scripts)
• Understanding of SaaS technology, retail and/or supply chain management
• Understanding of wholesale / manufacturing planning processes

What we offer you in return:

RELEXians can be found around the world, but here we’re based in Helsinki. We’re passionate about using our technology to improve sustainability and change the world. Our office provides a great space for you to socialise, exercise and even take time out in our relaxing areas. We make sure our unique approach to flexibility and work-life balance comes across loud and clear; we’re conveniently located, there’s plenty of public transport and you can even bring your pet to the office!

Across RELEX, our people are supported and rewarded. In Finland, we go even further. As well as: 

• Flexible and hybrid working
• Extensive physical and wellbeing support
• Up to 8 weeks of annual leave per year
• A true hybrid-working policy (home and office)

We also offer a range of benefits to support you, your family and your life situation. We value your work-life balance and provide flexible hours with RELEX specific parental leave agreements. As we’re a diverse team of smart, motivated and fun people, we also have an office gym, host sports and culture events (think kayaking, brewing club and more), offer a mobile phone package and bike leasing. 

Are you the one we’re looking for? Apply today and become a part of our RELEX family!

You can apply by sending your resume and filling the application form as soon as possible, but no later than 27^th of October 2024. The recruitment process will consist of a phone interview, a case interview and a team fit interview.
