About us
Bayut & Dubizzle have the unique distinction of being iconic, homegrown brands with a strong presence across the seven emirates in the UAE. Connecting millions of users across the country, we are committed to delivering the best online search experience.
As part of Dubizzle Group, we are alongside some of the strongest classified brands in the market. With a collective strength of five brands, we have more than 123 million monthly users that trust in our dedication to providing them with the best platform for their needs.
Role overview
As an analyst in the Strategy & Commercial team, you will take ownership of the workstream and see it through — from an ambiguous question to an answer someone can act on. You will work alongside vertical commercial leads, pricing specialists, revenue operations, and the sales organisation on the questions that determine how the business grows: what our customers are worth, why they stay or leave, what we should charge, and where the next increment of revenue will come from.
Your role goes beyond producing analysis on request. You will combine data analysis and research, conduct conversations with the people closest to the market, and generate insights. You are expected to form a view and to defend it.
You will build the analysis and provide recommendations with quantified impact by extracting and cleaning the data, constructing the model, testing the logic, and standing behind the numbers. Your role will identify and unlock new revenue streams across Bayut and Dubizzle’s marketplaces by analysing customer value, retention, and pricing levers.
Key responsibilities
Take full ownership of strategic workstreams, transforming ambiguous business challenges into clear, actionable solutions that drive revenue.
Extract and clean complex datasets, construct rigorous financial and operational models, and test business logic to quantify the impact of strategic recommendations.
Combine quantitative data analysis, qualitative market research, and conversations with frontline teams to identify where the next increment of revenue will come from. Go beyond responding to ad-hoc data requests.
Analyse and provide actionable recommendations on critical business drivers, including pricing structures, product packaging, customer acquisition, retention (churn), and sales performance.
Formulate strong, data-backed perspectives on market dynamics (e.g., what customers are worth, why they stay or leave, what we should charge). Present these insights confidently to leadership and be prepared to defend the numbers.
Partner directly with vertical commercial leaders, pricing specialists, Revenue Operations, and the sales organisation to ensure strategic recommendations are practically executed in the market.
You will be coached directly by your vertical or function lead, with structured feedback against a published competency framework covering ownership, first-principles thinking, analytical rigour, commercial judgement, and influence.
