- Success of the Irish Business: The Irish business has come off its best year yet and is highly regarded by the overall group. The hiring manager, Susan, is focused on insights and passionate about the customer.
Susan has been successful in the role and said the following: "Yes, this role will report to me, but I am really looking for someone who I can partner with. The team that this person will manage are fantastic—engaged and positive. No two days will be the same, and this role will focus on bringing data to life."

- Lead range projects aligned with overall business strategies.
Key Requirements
- Leadership and team management experience with an FMCG background.
- Strong analytical and data interpretation skills, including market data.
