Position Summary:

We are looking for an enthusiastic, analytical, and creative problem solver to join the RELX Analytics & Strategic Pricing team. Our Customer, Employee and Sales Analytics projects help RELX companies become data-led decision makers, while our Strategic Pricing projects help transform pricing strategies and business models. You will collaborate with RELX companies on strategically important, high impact projects, using hypothesis-based approaches to uncover insights that drive improved revenues and profits.

It’s not a typical analyst role! Every week will be different. Working on projects from initial scoping to delivery:

• Honing your data and modelling skills
• Building your consulting skills

Working across lots of the RELX companies and divisions accelerates your development.

About the Team:

The team is an internal consulting service to RELX companies (BUs) – Elsevier, LexisNexis Risk, LexisNexis Legal and Reed Exhibitions (RX).

Our office is RELX’s Trafalgar Square corporate HQ. We work remotely with occasional meetings in the office or at UK client sites.
