• Support the development of customer strategies through data-driven analysis and recommendations.
• Evaluate profitability and trade investment performance across customers, products, channels, promotional initiatives, and business segments, recommending strategies to maximize ROI.
• Build forecasting models and assist with sales planning and demand analysis.

• Improve data quality, reporting consistency, and overall business intelligence capabilities throughout the organization.
• Participate in special projects and cross-functional initiatives as directed.

• Comfort utilizing AI as a core part of everyday work and motivation to continuously improve productivity through technology.
• Exceptional recent graduates may demonstrate analytical capabilities through consulting clubs, case competitions, internships, research projects, or other meaningful analytical experience.
• Ability to analyze data, clarify business questions, and suggest practical next steps.
• Intellectual curiosity a must!
• Advanced Excel skills, including pivots, lookups, formulas, data modeling, and analysis.
• Experience with or strong interest in Power BI, SQL, Tableau, or other business intelligence tools, including dashboard development, data visualization, KPI tracking, and translating data into actionable insights.
