• Use voice-of-customer inputs such as feedback, complaints, surveys, reviews, NPS/CSAT themes, call centre insights, store feedback, and digital behavior to understand what customers value, expect, and struggle with.
• Help define and evaluate customer value propositions, benefits, journeys, services, and experience interventions by balancing customer desirability, operational feasibility, sales impact, margin implications, and long-term customer value.
• Translate customer insights, preference signals, market trends, research, analytics outputs, and business priorities into practical recommendations for buying, planning, merchandising, pricing, finance, operations, L&D, sales, marketing, digital, CRM, and loyalty teams.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to embed customer-focused decision-making into category choices, assortment planning, campaign design, service standards, store execution, training content, customer journeys, and commercial reviews.

• Coordinate cross-functional execution of customer initiatives, ensuring timelines, dependencies, stakeholder alignment, communication plans, training inputs, and post-launch learnings are managed effectively.
• Prepare clear strategy documents, customer insight stories, performance updates, leadership presentations, and recommendations that connect customer experience and customer value to measurable business outcomes.
