  • Use advanced analytics, predictive techniques and AI-enabled solutions to identify trends, model scenarios and improve decision-making quality.
  • Simplify and automate reporting processes, reducing manual effort and making insight more accessible across the business.
  • Partner with colleagues across Planning, Customer Supply, Commercial and Finance to align performance narratives and drive meaningful action.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Supply Chain Analytics or a similar insight-focused role.
  • Strong Power BI expertise, including dashboard development, data modelling, Power Query and DAX.
  • Advanced Excel and SQL skills, with the ability to work confidently with large and complex datasets.
  • The ability to turn analysis into clear recommendations and influence stakeholders at different levels of the organisation.
  • Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of how data impacts customer performance, profitability, service and operational outcomes.
  • A naturally curious mindset with a passion for problem-solving, continuous improvement and data-driven decision making.
  • Experience within FMCG, consumer goods, supply chain, forecasting or planning environments would be advantageous.
  • Exposure to predictive analytics, Microsoft Fabric, SAP, Python, R or AI-enabled analytical tools would be beneficial.
