• Translate retailer and CPG data into clear, practical actions for clients.
• Oversee data pipelines and reporting solutions, working with the team to resolve technical or data quality issues.
• Ensure recommendations are commercially useful and presentations are ready for senior client audiences.
Own client relationships
• Serve as a senior point of contact for assigned clients.
• Understand each client’s goals, manage expectations, and communicate progress and risks clearly.
• Present insights and recommendations to client leadership.
• Identify opportunities to expand existing engagements based on client needs and the value our team can deliver.

• 8–12+ years of progressive experience in business intelligence, category management, merchandising analytics, or a related field
• 3–5+ years in a leadership role managing analysts, category managers, or BI teams
• Proven experience in retail, CPG, e-commerce, or wholesale/distribution (industry-specific depending on the company)
