    The role combines hands‑on analytical depth, and business partnership, with a strong focus on moving from insight to action.

    • Lead the evolution of analytical tools and frameworks, ensuring they adapt to market conditions and Commercial Team needs.
    • Maintain a high bar for data quality, analytical rigor, and interpretability, proactively identifying inconsistencies and risks.
    • Translate complex analytical findings into clear narratives and recommendations for senior stakeholders and non‑technical audiences.
    • Support ad‑hoc deep dives and client engagements where advanced analytics is required to explain performance drivers and improvement levers.
    • Own delivery of analytical outputs (models, dashboards, insights) that support broader Finance and Strategy decision‑making.

    Desired Qualifications:

    • 10+ years of work experience in Data Science or Analytics
    • Masters / PhD preferred but not essential
    • Team management experience in a fast paced, impact oriented organization.

    • Exceptional analytical and quantitative problem solving skills
    • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with experience in presenting technical content to clients and non technical audiences
    • Having an eye on detail, immediately picking up issues and data quality problems.
    • Fluency in English
