You are in their meetings, you understand their process, and you know their pain when it comes to pulling data together from a myriad of sources in Excel to calculate a simple inventory metric. And when you solve their pain you are their hero. But you don’t stop there: solving pain is just a starting point— you are driving the definition and implementation a broader vision of multichannel retail measurement and KPIs that ultimately helps elevate your partners from tactical to strategic business views. Part of the magic you bring to this role is your strong technical understanding: you know the gory details about how data should be organized in a framework and can sit with your technology partners and dive into which pipes are moving what piece of data whether its digital sales, inventory or consumer information. You also will manage a team of report writers who will bring the vision to life using Cognos and Tableau.
