You will work with large and complex Excel files, sales data, product information, examination findings and contractual parameters to identify deviations, patterns and potential compliance issues. You will then turn your findings into clear calculations, summaries and decision material that can support internal assessments, negotiations and follow-up actions. The role combines business analysis, audit and compliance, with a strong focus on commercial data and structured problem-solving.
