• Provide the Commercial Leadership Team with market trends and competitor insight updates
• Drive clarity by framing the right commercial questions, often from a position of ambiguity
• Identify opportunities through insight and trends, challenging the status quo where relevant
• Build actionable strategic frameworks to prioritise and implement change across our propositions and channels, allowing us to win in the markets we play in
• Lead or support complex programmes of work, across our brands and channels; including scoping, building cross-business support and investment, trialling and embedding
• Demonstrate an ability to run projects with an agile mind-set
• Take ownership for your projects, providing structure, clarity and regular proactive updates to the relevant stakeholders and leadership teams, including potential risks and proposed mitigation actions to avoid roadblocks
• Be creative in bringing the right insights and people together to help solve our toughest commercial problems and make tangible recommendations to the business
