Job description

At X, bigly labs, we’re Dis-Chem’s high-performance innovation hub, where bold ideas meet data, design, and radical customer focus. Our mission is simple: power the future of healthcare by lowering costs, improving outcomes, and unlocking new possibilities. We’re driven by one big question: How do we use data + technology today to create healthier lives tomorrow? Here, we don’t just imagine the future, we build it. From cutting-edge digital solutions to smarter, patient-focused experiences, we’re reimagining health tech to make breakthroughs possible. Welcome to X, bigly labs. This is healthcare, reimagined.

About The Role

At X, Bigly Labs, vendors are more than suppliers – they’re strategic partners in delivering value to our customers. As our Product Analyst: Vendors, you’ll be the analytical engine behind our vendor ecosystem, ensuring every partner is empowered with insights to perform, engage, and grow. You’ll manage reporting across 140+ vendors, drive performance transparency, and collaborate cross-functionally to optimise vendor impact across the business.

What We're Looking For

• Degree in Business, Data Analytics, Marketing, or a related field.
• 2–4 years’ experience in product analytics, vendor management, or commercial insights.
• Proficiency in data tools (e.g., SQL, Power BI, Tableau) and experience with reporting automation.
• Strong analytical and communication skills – able to turn numbers into strategic stories.
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to influence across internal and external stakeholders.

What You Will Be Doing

Vendor Performance & Reporting

• Monitor and analyse vendor performance across key metrics (e.g., engagement, campaign participation, redemption rates).
• Build and maintain dashboards that deliver tailored insights to internal teams and external vendor partners.
• Share regular performance reports with all vendors, ensuring clarity, consistency, and strategic alignment.
• Translate complex data into clear, actionable narratives that support vendor decision-making.

Strategic Insight & Optimisation

• Identify trends, gaps, and opportunities across vendor data to inform roadmap planning and partnership strategy.
• Collaborate with commercial and product teams to align vendor performance with business goals.
• Support segmentation of vendors based on performance, category, and strategic value.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Strategic Partnerships, Product, and Data teams to ensure vendor analytics are embedded in decision-making.
• Partner with Marketing and CRM teams to evaluate vendor-led campaigns and promotions.
• Contribute to vendor onboarding and enablement by providing data-driven guidance and benchmarks.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be the bridge between data and vendor success – ensuring every partner is equipped to deliver impact. From performance dashboards to strategic insights, your work will power the intelligence behind our vendor ecosystem and help scale partnerships with precision.

Our values aren’t just ideals, they’re the through-lines in how we think, build, and make decisions that impact real lives. From bold experimentation in digital solutions to platforms built on integrity, we’re shaping a culture designed for progress that lasts. It’s a culture that designs for the future, asks better questions, and answers them with care, urgency, and systems that scale.
