Responsibilities

• Act as a trusted analytics partner to General Managers and senior commercial stakeholders, helping them understand the drivers of revenue, profitability and business performance.

You'll champion analytical rigour while recognising the importance of delivering timely, practical information to stakeholders
• Guide your team in translating complex datasets into clear, actionable insights for technical and non-technical audiences.

You'll help prioritise work across business areas, balance immediate commercial needs with longer-term improvements, and ensure the team's capacity is focused on delivering the greatest value.
