About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Acts as the analytical thought partner to the Heads of Product, Operations, and Commercial, translating their priorities into structured workstreams with clear owners, milestones, and success metrics.
Support our inventory planner in deepening the intelligence layer around inventory (availability, forecast accuracy, sell-through, days-on-hand); partner with Ops leadership on warehouse performance, fulfillment cost, COGS, and supply chain analytics.
Serve as the data champion for product line expansion - partnering with our product lead and directors on market sizing and opportunity assessment for new verticals and line extensions, then leading analytics on how new categories perform once launched (sale results, category creative and email performance, sell-through, and what it implies for the next bet).
Coordinate new product development, assortment, and launch readiness into the campaign calendar (complementary to the Marketing-side counterpart on brand and creative). Support analytics on product performance, SKU rationalization, and portfolio strategy.
Support Commercial leadership with strategic analytics - location analytics, sell-through, product performance by channel, and portfolio thinking across retail, wholesale, and corporate.
Co-own preparation of Leadership Team meetings, monthly retros, and quarterly planning sessions: setting agendas, building executive presentations, synthesizing inputs, and driving follow-ups.
Track OKRs and key metrics across Product, Operations, and Commercial pods; hold owners accountable to commitments and surface risks early.
Drive CEO-priority projects: building business cases, structuring the work, aligning stakeholders, managing timelines, and delivering results.
Lead initiatives spanning multiple functions with clear ownership and accountability; translate strategic priorities into action.
Identify gaps in process, reporting, or capabilities and propose solutions that scale.
Quantitative analysis across inventory and demand, unit economics by SKU and channel, COGS and fulfillment cost, retailer performance, and location strategy.
Synthesize large datasets into clear visual insights using SQL, Excel, and BI tools.
Serve as analytical thought partner to leadership on high-stakes decisions across Product, Operations, and Commercial.
