Key Responsibilities

Category Analytics & Insights

- The role will own end-to-end category analytics for a perishable/F&B category, covering forecasting, pricing analytics, demand analytics, supply analytics, consumer and customer analytics, and channel partner analytics.

- The individual will be responsible for building a coherent, data-backed view of category performance and health across these dimensions.

- These insights will be used to inform category decision-making and improve the quality and speed of execution by category owners.

Planning & Allocation Support

- The role will support category planning and allocation decisions by providing analytical inputs on how inventory and supply should be distributed across different nodes, terminals, or operating units.

- This includes working with planning logic, allocation rules, and analytical models that guide decisions on how much inventory should flow where, based on demand patterns, supply constraints, and performance data.

- The individual will work closely with category execution leaders to translate analytical outputs into clear, decision-ready recommendations, while remaining focused on analytics rather than execution ownership.

Domain Exposure
