You will support annual strategy, budget, and rolling forecasts, and you will help evaluate new products, print runs, and pricing scenarios to enable smart growth of the trading card portfolio.

• Develop business plans, product calculations, pricing proposals, and “what‑if” analyses to support commercial decisions.

• Support continuous improvement of reporting, tools, and financial processes (SAP‑BI, Analysis for Office, Excel models).
