Are you a data-driven professional with a passion for the FMCG sector?

We are looking for an EU Consumer Data Manager to join our client's team on a 12-month basis. This is a pivotal mid-level role serving as the strategic "link" between our complex technical data landscape and our non-technical business teams across 17 European markets. You will not just be managing data; you will be "developing" it-driving harmonization, identifying cost efficiencies, and shaping the future data strategy for the region.

Key Responsibilities

• Reporting Ownership: Act as the primary lead for the Data Lake and the SPRINT external reporting suite (managed by Red Slim).
• Data Strategy: Plot and map data suppliers (NielsenIQ, ePOS, Panel, Digital) to ensure optimum regional coverage and create a roadmap for future integration.
• Contract Management: Manage all European Consumer Data contracts, acting as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for external suppliers.
• Stakeholder Bridge: Translate complex technical data into actionable insights for category and marketing teams, providing troubleshooting support and tool training.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve the look, feel, and cadence of regional reporting to drive better business decision-making.

Your Profile

• Industry Background: Essential experience in FMCG/CPG.
• Technical Expertise: Strong working knowledge of NielsenIQ and ideally experience with Red Slim/SPRINT.
• Mid-Level Experience: Comfortable working with high-level stakeholders but remain "hands-on" with data management and troubleshooting.
• Strategic Mindset: Proven ability to manage data across multiple international markets and drive regional harmonization.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to simplify technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
