Where they do not exist, you will identify Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), build performance monitoring frameworks around them, and support in the development of new tools (where needed).

You may be asked to support with insight and analytics for ad-hoc projects in the distribution functions or – where necessary – cross-functionally.

• Identify opportunities and potential challenges in the horizon, communicating them briefly and timely.
• Develop Performance Monitoring Frameworks (where none exist) or enhance them (where they exist) by identifying Key Performance Indicators and standardizing their reporting for executive summaries.
• Support the development and enhancement of analytics tools in the business (e.g., Tableau, Salesforce, etc…), where appropriate.
• Develop the ability to drill into the granular detail of insights for the benefit and use of key stakeholders.
• You may be asked to participate in ad-hoc cross-functional data analytics projects representing Sales & Distribution.
• You may be asked to support in the production of material and/or insights for the purpose of audits.

• Proven ability to interpret complex data and MI, draw out insight and translate it into practical actions.
• Advanced Excel and strong skills in data visualisation / BI tools (e.g. Power BI, Tableau or similar).
