What would you do? You will be working as part of the Marketing Operations team, supporting pricing and commercial performance analytics to help business stakeholders understand the impact of pricing strategies, promotional activities, and market dynamics on business performance. You will analyze pricing realization, volume trends, and commercial outcomes to generate actionable insights that support forecasting, resource allocation, and strategic decision-making. You will work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver performance reporting, identify opportunities and risks, and improve visibility into pricing effectiveness across markets and channels. In this role you will specifically: • Own and govern the design, development and continuous enhancement of advanced analytics solutions — covering pricing intelligence, market planning, volume tracking and product performance — across multiple client workstreams. • Lead the end-to-end delivery of recurring and ad-hoc market planning analytics: from raw data extraction and transformation through insight generation, validation and stakeholder presentation. • Define and enforce data quality standards, validation frameworks and cross-check protocols across all analytical deliverables to ensure accuracy and reliability. • Partner directly with senior client stakeholders to understand strategic business requirements, translate them into scalable analytical solutions, and present findings with clarity and confidence. • Mentor and guide junior analysts, conduct quality reviews of their outputs, and develop team capability through structured knowledge transfer. • Drive automation and process re-engineering initiatives to significantly reduce manual effort and improve reporting cycle times. • Lead the development and maintenance of reporting architectures spanning multiple BI environments, ensuring seamless data flow and report integrity.
What are we looking for? • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Economics, Finance, Mathematics, Business Administration, Engineering, Accounting, or a related quantitative field. • 8–10 years of relevant experience in market planning analytics, pricing analytics, reporting or business intelligence within a managed services or consulting environment. • Proven track record of owning and delivering complex, multi-workstream analytics programs for large enterprise clients in CPG, Retail or FMCG sectors. • Strong domain expertise in market planning and pricing analytics — including pricing realization tracking, volume forecasting, new product performance measurement and category analysis. • Deep expertise in enterprise BI platforms — report and dashboard development, multi-environment management, scheduling, troubleshooting and access governance. • Advanced Power BI skills — end-to-end dashboard development including data modelling, calculated measures, Power Query, visual design and report governance. • Expert-level Advanced Excel skills: Pivot Tables, XLOOKUP / INDEX-MATCH, Dynamic Arrays, Power Pivot, Data Models, complex conditional logic and data validation. • Strong hands-on VBA and Macro development experience: automation of data refresh, output generation, PDF workflows and file management. • Proficient in Power Query: data extraction, transformation, cleansing and integration across multiple structured and semi-structured data sources. • Strong analytical thinking with the ability to synthesize complex, multi-dimensional datasets into clear, decision-ready insights for senior stakeholders. • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — experience presenting pricing and market insights to senior client audiences and independently leading requirements discussions. • Proven ability to mentor junior analysts, conduct QA reviews and drive team capability development. • Strong delivery management skills — experience owning timelines, managing cross-team dependencies and proactively resolving blockers in a fast-paced delivery environment. Good to have skills: • Working knowledge of SQL for data extraction and manipulation from relational databases. • Experience with Python (Pandas, openpyxl) for data processing, automation and analytical workflow development. • SharePoint / OneDrive integration experience for report distribution and collaborative data management.
Roles and Responsibilities: MARKET PLANNING & PRICING ANALYTICS • Lead and own the design, development and ongoing governance of analytical frameworks supporting market planning, pricing analysis, volume forecasting and new product performance tracking. • Oversee the full reporting lifecycle for recurring market intelligence deliverables: data ingestion, refresh, validation, cross-checking and release — ensuring every output meets defined quality and timing standards. • Drive pricing realization analysis — tracking price movement, promotional uplift and competitive pricing dynamics across geographies, channels and time periods — and translate findings into executive-ready narratives. • Develop and maintain structured analytical views that surface trends in category performance, distribution, volume and market share to support strategic planning decisions. • Lead the tracking and analysis of new product launches: monitor sell-in, distribution build, volume ramp and velocity benchmarks against targets, providing regular performance read-outs to stakeholders. • Independently resolve data discrepancies and lead root cause analysis for quality issues across reporting environments, ensuring trust in all analytical outputs. • Conduct deep-dive analyses into pricing, market and commercial trends, translating complex data into actionable insights that influence client strategy. BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE & REPORTING PLATFORMS • Lead report and dashboard development across enterprise BI platforms, including complex multi-environment dependency management, access coordination and environment readiness validation. • Design, build and maintain self-service BI dashboards that surface pricing, volume, market share and product performance metrics — including data modelling, calculated measures, visual design and scheduled refresh setup. • Act as the subject matter expert for BI platforms within the team; resolve technical issues, mentor junior users and define best practices for sustainable, scalable reporting. • Establish and maintain environment readiness protocols: validate access dependencies, run environment health checks, and coordinate with IT and support teams for timely provisioning. • Drive the transition of manual reporting processes to self-service analytical solutions, reducing operational burden while improving stakeholder accessibility to insights.
