• Conduct site and market analysis to determine optimal pricing strategies and improve profitability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to align analytical solutions and pricing strategies with overall business goals.
• Monitor fuel levels, deliveries, consumption, and variances using automated wet stock systems to ensure operational efficiency.
• Provide senior management and operations teams with data-driven insights, forecasts, and visual reports to support decision-making.
• Ensure data accuracy and integrity through robust validation and quality checks.
• Continuously seek opportunities to improve data processes, reporting efficiency, and strategic decision-making.
• Present findings and lead discussions with stakeholders in a clear, concise, and engaging manner.
