• Turn ambiguous business questions into structured, actionable insights — helping stakeholders understand not just what happened, but why.

• Build business cases for new initiatives, from market sizing through expected ROI, and track performance post-launch.
• Lead fast-moving strategic initiatives such as new category launches and go-to-market campaigns - ensuring financial clarity and measurable impact at every step.

Qualifications

• Strong analytical toolset - SQL or data analysis experience preferred, or a clear desire to learn.
• Fluency with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for accelerating analysis and research, or a clear excitement about building that muscle.
• Excellent communication and influence skills; you can align cross-functional partners and present confidently to leadership.
• High attention to detail, bias for action, and a self-starter mentality — you don't wait to be told what to do.

Benefits
