* Support standardisation and improvement of data accuracy and reporting processes.
* Assist with the development of forecasting and planning tools.
* Identify performance gaps and support continuous improvement initiatives.
* Prepare ad-hoc reports and analysis to support management decision-making.

* Strong analytical capability with the ability to interpret large and complex datasets.
* Experience working in an operational, production, supply-chain, or FMCG environment preferred.
* High level of proficiency in Excel (advanced formulas, pivot tables, data analysis).
* Experience with BI or reporting tools (e.g. Power BI, Tableau, or similar) is desirable.
* Strong communication skills, with the ability to present data clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
* Ability to work cross-functionally and support international teams.
* Highly organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable working to deadlines.
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced operational environment where priorities, timelines, and data inputs may evolve.
