• Lead analytics projects for senior leaders and present clear recommendations with trade-offs.

• Mentor junior analysts and review their work to raise team capability.
• Partner with Finance, Category Leads, Quality, Engineering and IT to align assumptions and embed analytics into decision points (NPI gates, supplier selection, contract renewals).
• Apply statistical methods and practical machine learning (segmentation, anomaly detection, regression) when it adds customer value.
• Define and protect canonical datasets; track data confidence and lineage.
