You bring deep curiosity about retail and marketplace dynamics and can translate complex, imperfect data into clear points of view that influence senior decision making. You're comfortable navigating ambiguity, framing the right questions before they're asked, and owning projects end to end.

• Proven strategic storytelling across verbal, visual, and written formats
• Independent problem solving skills and the ability to form a clear, compelling point of view

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON

You'll lead applied analytics that connect marketplace dynamics to business decisions, delivering timely insights that inform strategy across Sport and Marketplace. You'll act as a trusted advisor, helping teams assess risks, opportunities, and progress against EMEA priorities.

You will:

• Deliver actionable analyses across short and long term horizons
• Support key corporate moments such as Quarterly Business Reviews and strategic planning
• Translate complex analysis into clear recommendations that drive decisions
• Co lead project prioritization and articulate value and expected impact
• Build strong, collaborative relationships with senior stakeholders
• Act as a connector between analytics teams and business partners
