• Support the delivery of regular commercial and category reporting packs
• Translate complex data into clear, engaging presentations and insight-led narratives
• Partner with internal stakeholders to understand business needs and provide relevant analysis
• Contribute to continuous improvement of reporting processes, tools and outputs
• Support ad-hoc deep dives into category, customer and performance trends

About You

• Experience in a data, insights or category-focused role, ideally within FMCG or retail
• Strong analytical capability, with advanced Excel skills and exposure to tools such as Power BI
• Familiarity with data sources such as Nielsen, Kantar or similar
• Confident communicator, able to present data in a clear and compelling way
• Proactive, curious and commercially minded, with a desire to drive impact through insight
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
