• Turn data into decisions. Analyse point-of-sale, sales, market, customer, pricing and promotional data. Track results against agreed measures and use the findings to improve future plans.
• Own investment effectiveness. Manage the advertising and promotion budget, allocate investment across brands, channels, customers, promotions and innovation, and evaluate return on investment.
• Track launches and performance. Set launch targets and review distribution, sales contribution, rate of sale, trial and repeat purchase, using the learning to refine portfolio and investment choices.
• Lead through influence. Align global, regional and local teams, communicate recommendations to senior stakeholders and customers, and coach your team to deliver with confidence and accountability.
