• Leading analytical projects from initial brief through to delivery and implementation.
• Supporting and mentoring junior analysts where required.
• Collaborating with internal Retail Insight teams to ensure consistency, quality and best practice.
• Helping to shape and evolve insight solutions based on changing client needs.
