Senior Business Analyst - Ads & Monetization

We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst to be the analytical backbone of Bolt Ads — one of the fastest-growing functions in the company, scaling advertising revenue across multiple markets!

With over 200 million customers in 50+ countries, Bolt is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe and Africa. And it's all thanks to our people.

We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability.

Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars, and we need your help to achieve this mission!

Bolt Ads operates across two verticals, Merchant Ads and Brand Ads, and every strategic decision, from country prioritisation to pricing models, depends on rigorous analysis that turns commercial ambiguity into clear action. You won't just produce insights; you'll drive the decisions and execution that follow. This means owning revenue forecasting, setting targets across markets, identifying opportunities before anyone asks, and being the go-to analytical partner for commercial and technical stakeholders alike.

• Build and maintain revenue forecast models, own target-setting across markets, and track forecast accuracy versus plan
• Act as a trusted analytical partner to Account Managers, General Managers, Product Managers, and Engineering, translating business questions into structured analysis and findings into commercial action
• Structure and solve ambiguous commercial problems: decompose questions like "why is advertising adoption plateauing in this market?" into hypotheses, run the analysis, and deliver recommendations with a clear "so what"
• Proactively surface revenue opportunities, underperforming segments, untapped markets, pricing inefficiencies, adoption gaps, and work with commercial teams to capture them
• Build scalable, self-serve reporting and partner with data engineering to automate manual workflows, freeing capacity for higher-impact analytical work

• 5+ years in analytics, BI, or commercial analytics in a marketplace, e-commerce, digital advertising, or data-intensive business
  • Advanced SQL, CTEs, window functions, multi-table joins, cohort analysis; SQL is your primary tool for answering business questions

• Clear, proactive communicator, you lead with the "so what," bring findings to stakeholders unprompted, and are comfortable presenting to senior leadership
• Experience with data visualisation tools (Looker, Tableau, Metabase, or similar)
• Proactive ownership mindset, you drive solutions end-to-end, from analysis through to execution
• Fluent in English
• Nice to have: Experience in advertising, ad tech, or monetisation analytics, CPC, ROAS, auction dynamics, merchant adoption funnels
