About you and the key skills we’re looking for
You thrive on turning complexity into clarity. Your commercial awareness and analytical mindset enable you to see the bigger picture behind pricing decisions. With a strong academic foundation in business, economics, or mathematics, and at least 5 years of experience in data analysis within retail or FMCG, you understand how pricing influences profitability and customer value.
Advanced Excel and financial modelling are second nature to you, and you’re confident in interpreting market share, customer insights, and competitor trends to shape strategies that deliver growth. You’re not just a numbers person; you’re a storyteller who can translate data into compelling recommendations, influencing stakeholders and guiding category teams toward smarter decisions. Familiarity with tools like Qlik Sense and a structured, solution-orientated approach will set you apart in this role.
Key responsibilities
This is not a back-office role; it’s a strategic seat at the table. You will own the analysis and modelling of pricing and value delivery initiatives, advising category teams on how to execute strategies that drive profitable growth.
Some of the duties for this role include:
In short, you’ll be the custodian of pricing intelligence, helping the client make decisions that matter.
