Roles & Responsibilities:

• Partner with merchants and CPG teams to evaluate allowances, costs, promotions, and display/space plans, ensuring strategies are grounded in real trade practices.

• Act as a functional sense-check for pricing intelligence solutions ensuring outputs align with what makes sense in the aisle, in negotiations, and in retail execution.
• Collaborate with engineering and analytics teams to translate merchandising requirements into scoped technical solutions, providing ongoing guidance and validation.
• Drive hypothesis development and validation with merchants, using transaction data, competitive benchmarks, and market share analysis.
• Lead cross-functional working sessions to align trade partners, merchants, and analysts around recommendations and scenarios.
• Monitor performance against goals such as trade ROI, sales lift, basket mix, and profitability, sharing insights back to stakeholders.

Experience Required:

• 710 years in merchandising, trade promotions, category management, or CPG commercial strategy, with direct involvement in allowance, cost, and promotional planning.
• Hands-on experience with retailer and CPG data platforms (Circana, Nielsen, Symphony, or equivalent).
• Strong functional understanding of retail pricing, promotion mechanics, space & display execution, and vendor negotiations.
• Demonstrated ability to work with both merchant operators and technical teams to ensure solutions reflect practical workflows.
• Track record of turning data analysis into actionable insights that shaped trade or merchandising decisions.
• Excellent communication skills with ability to credibly engage at all levels from merchants and department specialists to technical teams and executives.
