Position Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Business Support Analyst to join our EMEA Sales team. This full-time role is designed for a recent graduate or early-career professional with strong analytical skills and a keen interest in sales operations, commercial pricing, and business coordination within the IT services sector.
As a critical part of the sales and operations enablement function, this position plays a hands-on role in supporting tactical execution, driving reporting excellence, maintaining pricing models, and enabling the sales team with the tools and insights needed to perform. The successful candidate will engage directly with regional sales teams, delivery coordinators, and internal stakeholders to ensure seamless operations and accurate, timely support.

This position offers exposure to the full sales lifecycle, pricing strategy, and delivery alignment, while preparing the individual for long-term growth in commercial, operational, or strategic business roles. It is particularly suited for candidates with a sales orientation/experience, being streetwise, an MBA in Sales, or prior experience in business development/BDM roles. Familiarity with sales jargon, deal stages, funnel management, and end-to-end sales lifecycle will be highly valued.
