You will leverage your strong communication and influencing skills to foster collaboration and drive alignment among diverse stakeholders. Your ability to analyze data, identify opportunities, and deliver actionable recommendations ensures impactful decision-making. Proficiency in Excel and a passion for turning insights into strategies further enhance your capacity to handle complex information and craft well-rounded solutions.

An adventurous spirit and openness to occasional travel (up to four times a year) allow you to stay connected with regional markets and maintain a hands-on approach.
