• Track the efficiency of business drivers and create actionable recommendations for commercial and marketing teams.
• Identify data needs of internal stakeholders and deliver best-in-class tools powered by the latest tech solutions, such as Power BI.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead and professionalize the Luxe data team, ensuring key business recommendations are concluded and communicated effectively.
• Be a trusted business partner for the General Manager, commercial, and marketing teams, connecting the dots between data and strategy.
• Drive the division’s transformation towards decision-making based on data analysis.

Collaboration & Influence

• Work closely with Key Account Managers (KAMs) and Brand Account Managers (BAMs) to plan and roll out business development plans.
• Speak up and challenge the status quo, ensuring that insights are not just shared but acted upon.
