• Process Improvement & Automation: Experience auditing manual reporting workflows and implementing scalable automation to increase team efficiency.
• Stakeholder & Cross-Cultural Collaboration: Demonstrated agility in partnering cross-functionally with Strategy, Innovation, and regional market teams across varying data maturities.

What will be your key responsibilities?

• Cross-Source Data Synthesis: Gather, harmonize, and analyze large-scale market data across multiple external suppliers (NIQ, Circana, Kantar, Mintel) to monitor ongoing brand and category health.
• Performance Storytelling: Create high-impact presentations, analytical models, and executive work products to answer core business prompts and guide strategic decision-making.
• Reporting Modernization & Automation: Identify opportunities to streamline foundational data pulls and automate existing manual reporting processes.
• Cross-Regional Analytical Alignment: Partner with regional insights teams to execute multi-market analytical deep dives (e.g., penetration drivers, distribution dynamics) and coordinate initiatives to ensure global consistency.
• Innovation & Strategic Measurement: Collaborate with Global Strategy and Innovation teams to measure the performance, incrementality, and market adoption of new product launches.
• Global Meta-Learnings: Synthesize granular regional insights into broader organizational meta-learnings, establishing standard measurement benchmarks as part of a global data / consumer insights team.
• Ad-Hoc Executive Support: Deliver responsive, high-priority ad-hoc data pulls and analytical deep dives for senior leadership.
