• Build and maintain channel/customer performance views: revenue, gross margin, mix/price/volume and key drivers by customer/channel/product format.
• Support pricing and promotional analytics: maintain source-of-truth files, analyze impacts of list price and trade changes and quantify ROI for promotions or commercial initiatives.
• Partner with Sales/Operations to translate business activity into forecast implications (timing shifts, fill-rate impacts, inventory constraints, etc.).
• Identify and implement improvements to reporting processes, data quality, controls and documentation; help build scalable SOPs and repeatable workflows.
• Leverage Excel (and tools such as Power BI) to automate recurring reporting.
• Collaborate with teams across Sales, Operations and Marketing to provide decision support and ad hoc analysis tied to business initiatives and performance.

• Intellectual curiosity and a problem-solving mindset
• Comfortable owning workstreams end-to-end with appropriate guidance.
