• Prepare executive‑ready analysis and materials, distilling complex insights into clear recommendations
• Strengthen competitive, market, and customer intelligence in collaboration with Sales Operations and Market Intelligence
• Contribute to corporate market views and challenges assumptions across Regions, Segments, and Business Units
• Build strong cross‑functional relationships and navigate senior, global stakeholders while managing shifting priorities and data ambiguity

Your background

• Proven capability to independently drive and deliver projects, supported by excellent financial modelling and presentation skills from past Strategy/M&A experience
• Strong research abilities with the tenacity and creativity to challenge perspectives and generate impactful insights
• High cultural sensitivity and confidence leading workstreams across globally dispersed, multicultural, and often senior stakeholder groups.
