• Pricing Governance: Maintain pricing tools, price lists, approval workflows, exception tracking, and documentation; support consistent execution of pricing actions across customers, products, brands, and channels.
• Commercial Analytics: Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reporting for revenue, gross margin, volume, price/mix, customer and product profitability, sales trends, and key commercial KPIs.
• Business Intelligence: Translate data from ERP, CRM, Power BI, Excel, and other sources into concise insights for commercial leaders and sales teams; improve data quality and reporting consistency.
• Forecasting & Planning: Support annual operating plans, forecasts, sales outlooks, pipeline reviews, and scenario analysis by providing customer-, product-, and channel-level analytics.

• Commercial Decision Support: Develop analyses for key accounts, cross-selling, new products, new markets, promotions, and contract opportunities; quantify the size of the prize and financial tradeoffs.
• Performance Management: Help establish commercial scorecards, targets, and KPI definitions; monitor results versus plan and surface actionable variances.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Work with Finance, Sales, Marketing/Product Management, Operations, and leadership to connect commercial actions with financial outcomes.

• Experience with Power BI or comparable business-intelligence tools; ability to build clear, decision-oriented dashboards.
• Working knowledge of ERP and CRM data structures; experience integrating data from multiple sources is desirable.
• Strong financial acumen, including revenue, gross margin, price/volume/mix, and profitability analysis.
