Te Tākinatanga - Our Story   

 
At Contact, we believe home is the most important place in the world. That belief shapes everything we do, from leading the energy transition to how we power Aotearoa and care for our people and communities. 

We’re a power, broadband, and mobile company, but we’re also investing boldly in renewable energy and smarter, more connected ways of working (mahi). Our ambition is simple: to leave Aotearoa better than we found it. 

Guided by our tikanga, we’re a team who care deeply about the work we do, how we support one another, and the impact we have. Simply put, we touch lives to make life better. 

This approach carries through into our Retail Revenue function, where this role strengthens how data informs pricing decisions through analysis, modelling, and commercial insight to guide pricing and growth. 

Te Whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity  

As the Senior Data & Commercial Analyst, your work directly influences how commercial and pricing decisions are made. You’ll sit close to pricing strategy, using data and modelling to bring clarity to complex questions and support the choices that shape performance. 

You’ll work across pricing, data, and broader business teams to develop insights, test scenarios, and provide recommendations that help guide direction in a competitive and fast-moving environment. 

In this role, you will: 

• Build and run models that support pricing decisions and broader commercial strategy. 

• Analyse data to uncover trends, risks, and opportunities that inform business direction. 

• Develop competitor and market insights to help shape how we respond externally 

• Prepare clear, structured packs and recommendations to support decision-making forums. 

• Partner with stakeholders across pricing, data, and the wider business to translate insights into action. 

• Contribute to pricing cycles by supporting the analysis and modelling behind key decisions.  

You’ll be working in a space where priorities can shift and where balancing depth of analysis with pace is important. Your ability to cut through complexity and guide decisions will be key to your whakaaweawe (impact). 

Ko wai koe | About You    

You’re someone who enjoys working with data but is equally comfortable stepping into commercial conversations. You know how to connect the detail to the bigger picture, and you take pride in helping others understand what the data is really saying. 

You bring a balance of analytical strength and clear thinking, with the confidence to share your perspective and influence decisions. 

You’ll likely have: 

• Strong analytical capability, with experience in SQL, Python, Excel, and visualisation tools such as Power BI. 

• Experience building models and using data to support commercial or strategic decisions. 

• The ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights. 

• Confidence preparing and presenting recommendations to a range of stakeholders. 

• A commercial mindset, with interest in pricing, performance, and market dynamics. 

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and guide conversations. 

• Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with competing priorities. 

• A proactive, curious approach, always looking to improve how insights are generated and applied. 

Above all, you’ll have the ability to connect data to decisions and contribute to meaningful commercial outcomes.
