Gather, analyze, and interpret data on market trends, competitor activity and pricing to inform commercial strategy and decision-making. Surface what matters, challenge what doesn't add up and move fast when the market shifts.

Build and maintain analytical models and dashboards that create competitive advantage – whether that’s capturing margin, optimizing inventory positions or structuring deals others can’t see.

Identify and act on opportunities to improve processes, eliminate waste and capture value others miss through data-driven insights. If you see inefficiency or a better way, you own bringing it forward and making it happen.

Share knowledge openly, solicit feedback and help teammates grow, contributing to a culture of integrity, accountability and continuous improvement.
