• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Serve as the senior technical and strategic resource on the team. Mentor and elevate the output of the other analysts on the team, reviewing complex models, teaching advanced techniques, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.


• Advanced Modeling & Systems Strategy: Design and implement advanced financial models and enterprise-wide reporting improvements. Guide the business on system usage (e.g., SAP) and identify new data sources needed for executive decision-making.


• Commercial & Operational Strategy: Drive deep financial analysis of market dynamics, market share analysis, competitor benchmarking, and manufacturing performance. Partner heavily with Marketing on the financial quantification of product roadmaps, new launches, and SKU rationalization.
