  • CPG Industry Experience (Nice-to-Have): Prior experience in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) sector or partnering directly with major retail category leads.
  • Syndicated Data & Analytics (Nice-to-Have): Familiarity with syndicated data platforms such as Circana (IRI), Nielsen, Numerator, or retailer-specific data portals.
  • Modern MarTech & Data Solutions (Nice-to-Have): Exposure to Customer Data Platforms (CDP), CRM, Marketing Technology, or advanced AI/ML commercial use cases.

What will be your key responsibilities?

  • Strategic Business Partnership: Serve as the primary Data & Technology liaison for Category Management and Customer Marketing, cultivating trusted relationships and aligning data priorities with long-term commercial goals.
  • Category Management Enablement: Supercharge our category management capabilities by implementing modern tools for assortment analysis, space and shelf optimization, and market intelligence.
  • Customer Marketing Enablement: Partner with Customer Marketing teams to implement and enhance campaigns, shopper marketing platforms, and data-driven investment measurement frameworks.
  • Portfolio & Demand Management: Manage demand intake, build robust business cases, secure strategic funding, and coordinate closely with Product Owners and Agile Engineering teams to keep delivery on track.
  • Advanced Data, Analytics & AI Strategy: Champion self-service reporting, shape future regional AI and predictive analytics use cases, and partner with data teams to safeguard data quality and accessibility.
  • Stakeholder Alignment & Change Leadership: Lead cross-functional alignment and drive active business readiness, training, and change management to guarantee that technology investments deliver real-world ROI and high adoption rates.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
