You will be expected to drive projects on your own, taking full ownership of the data without needing constant supervision.

If you are a proactive problem-solver who loves digging into the why behind the numbers, this role is for you.

Apply logical frameworks to unstructured data to identify root causes of performance dips or growth spikes.

2. Strategic Support & Performance Tracking

Proactively monitor competitor pricing and assortment gaps to recommend tactical adjustments.
Analyze customer behavior and basket data to identify cross-selling opportunities and improve bundle mechanics.
Track the performance of marketing campaigns and onsite visibility to ensure Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) efficiency.

3. Reporting & Automation

SQL Proficiency: Strong ability to write complex queries to extract and manipulate data from data warehouses independently.

Key Competencies (Soft Skills):

Strong Logical Reasoning: Ability to decompose high-level business questions into executed data logic. You can spot when data doesn't look right and investigate immediately.
High Ownership & Autonomy: Ability to drive on your own. You don't wait for instructions; you identify gaps in the data and propose solutions proactively.
Business Acumen: You understand that data is a means to an end—driving Revenue and Margin is the goal.
