• You bring strong analytical capabilities and are confident working with data and planning tools (advanced Excel required; SQL strongly preferred; experience with Python or R is a plus).
• You have a hands-on, ownership-driven mindset with the ability to assess opportunities, weigh trade-offs, and make sound decisions in non-standard situations.
• You communicate clearly and in a structured way, enabling effective collaboration with Category Management, Operations, and Analytics.
• You are fluent in English and German is a plus.
