• Identify opportunities to build and enhance Decision Support Systems (DSS), analytics solutions, and data products in partnership with product, analytics, and technology teams.

• Leverage GenAI, Agentic AI, analytics, and low-code/no-code tools to rapidly prototype solutions and accelerate decision-making.

• Orchestrate cross-functional teams including data scientists, engineers, domain experts, product teams, and AI specialists.

• Communicate insights and recommendations effectively to senior stakeholders and drive alignment toward measurable business outcomes.

• Track delivery progress, business impact, risks, and dependencies across value streams.

• Continuously explore emerging AI and technology capabilities and identify opportunities to apply them to business problems.

Requirements

• 10–15 years of experience in business analytics, strategy/management consulting, commercial analytics, operations, supply chain, finance, marketing/customer analytics, product management, or other decision-oriented business functions.

• Significant experience working in the Retail/CPG industry.

• Strong business-first consulting and problem-solving mindset, with experience working directly with business leaders.

• Strong understanding of retail functions such as Pricing, Supply Chain, Sales & Marketing, and Forecasting.

• Demonstrated ability to move from business question → hypothesis → analysis → insight → recommendation/action.

• Strong experience managing multiple workstreams and driving initiatives through end-to-end delivery.

• Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills.

• Hands-on experience with SQL, BI/visualization tools and/or Python, along with strong analytical aptitude.

• Experience identifying business opportunities, prioritizing interventions, and translating analytics into measurable outcomes.

• Interest or hands-on exposure to GenAI, AI agents, automation, or emerging technologies.

• Ability to work effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and rapidly learn and apply new technologies.
