Experience building scalable dashboards and self-serve reporting that drive adoption
Strong quantitative reasoning — comfortable with large, complex datasets and ambiguous questions
Excellent communication — able to distill complex analyses into crisp narratives for senior stakeholders
Proactive and curious — you track food, retail, and natural-products trends and experiment with new tools (including AI/ML)
A foundation in retail merchandising and/or pricing that lets you operate at both the detail and strategic levels

Mid-morning, you meet with Pricing Science to refine a model for category-level recommendations. After lunch, you present quarterly pricing insights to a Director-level audience, turning feedback into action items. You close the day exploring an AI-powered workflow that could halve your analysis time and mentoring a fellow analyst on framing a pricing opportunity for leadership.
