We are seeking a Business Analyst & Planner who will hold a central role across the organisation. Embedded within the core operating rhythm, you will coordinate planning across Finance, Production and Commercial, aligning biological realities, sales forecasts and operational decisions.

You will make sure the right product is available at the right time, optimise how we harvest and sell fish, and support key business decisions with clear data-driven insights.

This is a role for someone who enjoys numbers, systems and modelling, but also wants to understand the underlying biological production dynamics and business context.

You will report to Production Data & Training Manager but work also closely together with Head of production, CFO & Commercial Director.

Technology, Systems & AI-Driven Optimisation

Drive continuous improvement of planning tools, production system and forecasting models.

Promote digital discipline and evidence-based decision-making throughout the organisation.

Stakeholder Coordination & Communication

Serve as the planning “hub” across teams, ensuring alignment and transparency.

Communicate insights clearly and diplomatically, balancing firmness and collaboration.

Help avoid silos by fostering shared understanding across operations, sales and finance.
