A Commercial Analyst examines business procedures to improve efficiency. You might liaise with clients to determine their goals and analyse current systems. Commercial Analysts look for problem issues and recommend ways to improve business performance. You might have your own consultancy firm or work for an external company.
Commercial Analysts must have strong attention to detail and excellent problem solving skills. You’ll need to have good analytical abilities and be able to communicate well with a range of stakeholders. Commercial Analysts should be able to work as part of a larger team and manage their time well.
In Australia, a full time Commercial Analyst generally earns $1,730 per week ($89,960 annual salary) before tax. This is a median figure for full-time employees and should be considered a guide only. As you gain more experience you can expect a potentially higher salary than people who are new to the industry.
The number of people working in this field is expected to grow strongly in coming years. There are currently 57,500 people working in this sector in Australia and many of them specialise as a Commercial Analyst. Commercial Analysts may find work across all regions of Australia, particularly larger towns and cities.
