Description

Success requires an individual to think strategically, connecting the dots of the bigger picture, as well as being comfortable in the details of the all key deliverables. You must be self-motivated, comfortable working with minimal direction in a global, fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment. You have exceptional analytical skills, are comfortable with getting into the weeds of data analysis, a maniacal attention to detail, and a proven ability to influence and collaborate across all levels of the organization.

You’ll connect the dots, build trust and understanding between groups, and orchestrate the activities needed to make your projects successful. The ideal candidate should have experience managing global technical projects that interweave across multiple functional teams and/or multiple systems with the commercial knowledge of a business team supporting Sales and Sales Finance.

The position will require the ability to complete complex business process analysis, dive deep into data across these disciplines, and develop and gain alignment on data strategies and data governance across global cross-functional teams. You’ll often need to analyze large amount of data that the team is working with and be able to present findings to stakeholders. You should be able to leverage your strong verbal skills to elevate and articulate priorities, trade offs, and explain technical concepts in business context to senior leaders.

This role requires you to be a champion of best practices in data management, governance, and business processes to instill a robust and sustainable data strategy across sales and sales finance for analytics to support demand and financial planning.
