About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Translate data into decision-ready insights — synthesize consumer, category, competitor, and macro-trend data into clear "so-what" implications that pressure-test the Wellbeing strategy.
Build the analytical backbone for category strategy, portfolio choices, and M&A thesis work — market sizing, share/penetration, white-space, growth drivers, consumer segmentation, early signal detection, and leading indicator tracking
Help build and scale a repeatable growth intelligence capability – mapping priority data sources, defining “metrics that matter”, pressure-testing early signals, and translating emerging insights into actionable brand, category, innovation, and M&A workstreams.
Run structured problem solving on defined modules of strategic initiatives (e.g., category deep-dives, competitor teardowns, target screens), owning workplan, analysis, and first-draft recommendation.
Develop board- and C-suite-ready materials — turning raw analysis into crisp slides, narratives, and one-pagers that equip senior executives for critical engagements.
Be the team's data whiz and CMI partner — fluently using Circana, Stackline, Numerator Panel, Euromonitor, social listening, and primary research (qual + quant) to bring the consumer voice into every question.
Pioneer trend and foresight inputs (GLP-1, science-backed claims, omnichannel discovery, AI-enabled routines, etc.) into a forward-looking view the team can act on, including M&A target screening, brand/category assessments, and competitive benchmarks across the M&A funnel.
Run the PMO for strategic projects — M&A due diligence and AOP — owning master workplan & calendar, weekly cross-functional connects, status reporting, milestone tracking, and senior-stakeholder decks.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, Engineering, Statistics, Data Science, Marketing, or a related quantitative discipline.
3–6 years of experience in strategy, consulting, general management, or relevant roles within consumer goods or high-growth categories.
Structured problem solver who breaks down ambiguous problems into clear, insight-led recommendations, with strong analytical and financial acumen.
Advanced application skills (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Think-cell, project management) and strong expertise in consumer data tools (Circana, Stackline, Numerator, Euromonitor) and AI tools (Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT).
Proven cross-functional leadership — driving alignment across diverse stakeholders and managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment with strong judgment and ownership.
Executive-grade communicator — expert verbal, PowerPoint, writing, and data-visualization skills; comfortable preparing executive-ready materials and influencing without authority.
Collaborative team player with maturity, discretion, and adaptability for sensitive strategic work, and an externally oriented, curious mindset toward emerging consumer and competitive developments.
