Your mission is to deliver insights that drive growth, profitability, and customer satisfaction. You’ll lead analysis of financial, customer, and operational data, develop dashboards and scorecards, and support business cases for new initiatives.

You’ll also:

• Analyse product, brand, and category performance to identify risks and opportunities

Most importantly, you’re collaborative, detail-oriented, and able to communicate complex insights in a clear, actionable way. This role would be best suited to a Category Management SME who loves to delve into the data and drive outcomes through data-led storytelling.

You’ll also ideally have:

• Tertiary qualification in Business, Analytics, Economics, or related field
