We look for people who want to bring their best — bold thinkers with big hearts who challenge one another and grow together. Because becoming the undisputed leader in food means surrounding ourselves with people who are hungry for what’s next.

This role will sit at the intersection of data and insight generation, with a focus on interpreting regular outputs from LLM (large language model) optimization partners and converting those outputs into clear, actionable recommendations for the broader AEO (answer engine optimization) team. You will regularly receive and analyze data from third‑party vendors, identify what the results mean for content, help inform optimization decisions, map the phasing of recommended actions, and coordinate implementation with cross‑functional partners. In addition, you will be building cross‑functional relationships, and working across marketing, content, and operations teams to bring in key insights that are actionable and help us show up in the agentic results. This role is ideal for a highly curious, detail‑oriented analyst who enjoys working through complex datasets, finding the story in the data, and helping teams move from insight to action.

• Strategic Planning & Prioritization: Translate complex, rapidly evolving AI engine outputs into prioritized, phased optimization plans that focus resources on the highest‑value business opportunities.
• Cross‑Functional Implementation: Coordinate closely with cross-functional partners to support the accurate, timely execution of approved optimization initiatives.
• Stakeholder Reporting & Capability Building: Track optimization outcomes, maintain organized reporting, and surface risks and follow‑up opportunities to stakeholders while documenting learnings to refine the team's analytical approach over time. Stay current on industry trends and consumer behavior insights, applying knowledge to refine and inform AI search optimization strategies.
