**Department:** GSMA Intelligence

**Team:** Forecasting and Modelling

**Location:** London (hybrid working)

**Position type:** Fixed Term Contract

**Contract type:** Short term Contractor

**Worker type:** Contingent Worker

### What the hiring manager says

We're looking for an experienced and commercially aware analyst who combines strong forecasting expertise with the ability to lead projects and support others within a collaborative team environment. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys turning complex industry developments into robust forecasts and actionable insight while helping drive the evolution of our modelling capabilities and data products.

You'll take ownership of strategic forecasting initiatives, contribute directly to thought leadership and work closely with senior stakeholders across GSMA Intelligence and the wider mobile ecosystem. Alongside delivering high-quality analysis, you'll play an important role in mentoring colleagues, coordinating smaller project teams and helping shape the future direction of our forecasting work.

### About the Role

As a Senior Analyst, you will take ownership of forecasting activities across a defined set of markets, technologies or strategic topic areas, ensuring the delivery of accurate, commercially relevant and forward-looking industry forecasts. You'll combine quantitative modelling with qualitative market analysis to explain industry developments and support both internal and external stakeholders.

You'll lead smaller forecasting projects and workstreams, coordinating contributions from colleagues across data collection, research and modelling teams to deliver high-quality outputs. You'll also support the development of junior analysts through collaboration, guidance and knowledge sharing, helping maintain consistency and analytical rigour across the team.

Alongside core forecasting responsibilities, you'll contribute to research reports, thought leadership and strategic initiatives linked to emerging industry developments such as next-generation networks, AI-enabled services, financial performance trends and evolving business models. You'll engage with stakeholders and help communicate complex insights in a clear and commercially meaningful way.

Success in the role will come from your ability to balance technical modelling expertise with leadership, communication and project coordination skills. You'll be expected to establish ownership of key forecasting areas, improve existing modelling approaches, contribute to strategic projects and become a recognised subject matter expert within your specialist domain.

### About You

You'll bring experience in forecasting, modelling, market analysis or related analytical work, alongside a strong understanding of the mobile, telecoms or technology sectors. You'll be comfortable working with large and complex datasets and able to combine quantitative analysis with commercial and strategic thinking.

You'll need strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills to explain assumptions, challenge ideas constructively and present findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. You'll also be confident coordinating smaller projects or workstreams and supporting colleagues within a collaborative team environment.

The role would suit someone who enjoys solving complex analytical problems, identifying opportunities to improve processes and helping shape the direction of future forecasting activities. Strong Excel and data analysis skills are essential, while experience with forecasting methodologies, financial analysis, telecoms datasets or statistical modelling tools would be highly beneficial.

### About your Skills

**Analysis** - you'll be able to translate complex industry developments, market data and commercial trends into robust forecasts and actionable insight. You will use multiple data sources to challenge assumptions, identify emerging trends and build credible views of future market developments. Your analysis will underpin industry-leading forecasts used by operators, vendors, investors and other stakeholders to support strategic planning and long-term decision making.

**Communication** - you'll be able to communicate complex analytical concepts clearly and confidently to a wide range of audiences. Whether presenting forecast assumptions, explaining methodology or discussing market developments, you'll ensure stakeholders understand both the conclusions and the rationale behind them.

**Project Management** - you'll be capable of leading small to medium-sized analytical projects from scoping through to delivery. You'll coordinate inputs from multiple stakeholders, manage competing priorities and ensure outputs are delivered to a high standard and within agreed timelines.

**Stakeholder Management** - you'll build trusted relationships across GSMA Intelligence and the wider organisation, working closely with data collection, research, consulting and commercial teams. You'll be comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders, incorporating feedback and balancing different perspectives.

**Leadership** - you'll provide guidance and support to colleagues within the team, sharing expertise and helping maintain high analytical standards. You'll act as a subject matter expert, mentor less experienced analysts and help drive continuous improvement across forecasting activities.

### What We Offer

Working at the GSMA offers you unparalleled access to the mobile industry. We offer a chance to truly shape the direction of mobile, whatever your role. By joining the GSMA, you will be exposed to a fast-paced rapidly evolving environment, working on global solutions, genuinely fascinating and industry-changing projects and a stimulating and dynamic environment designed to enable you to flourish.

In addition to architect-designed offices and competitive compensation, our benefits include fantastic learning & development opportunities, generous holiday allowances, four additional days off for professional development and many others.
