• Deliver deep P&L insights, analysing performance, identifying risks and opportunities, and influencing decisions that maximise financial value.
• Lead Strategic Revenue Management analysis, modelling initiatives and provide data-driven recommendations to strengthen pricing and promotional strategies.
• Drive innovation pipeline development, building robust business cases to guide investment decisions and ensure profitable growth.
• Collaborate on New Product Development (NPD), creating financial models, tracking performance, and delivering actionable insights to stakeholders.
• Lead forecasting and reporting cycles, providing clear, accurate performance updates and recommendations to senior leadership.
• Leverage advanced analytics, continuously improving tools and models to support smarter, faster decision-making across the business.
