• Shape category growth strategies, portfolio positioning, and identify hero SKUs
• Drive product renovations, pricing strategies, and packaging updates with purpose

Own the Numbers:

• Lead P&L reporting and business reviews with an eye on margin and growth
• Make sound go/no-go decisions based on data, trends, and consumer insights
• Run market analysis and research to back your ideas and uncover new opportunities
