01. Own and grow a portfolio of strategic top partners, driving sustainable revenue growth, retention, and long-term partnership value.
02. Develop advanced data frameworks and custom dashboards (e.g., Google Sheets, Tableau, internal tools) to monitor performance, identify trends, and unlock actionable insights across key metrics (conversion, basket size, cancellations, adoption).
03. Lead deep-dive analyses to diagnose performance gaps, identify root causes, and translate findings into structured, high-impact action plans for partners and internal teams.
04. Build and scale business intelligence tools and reporting systems that improve visibility, decision-making, and commercial performance across the portfolio.
05. Leverage data-driven storytelling to influence senior stakeholders and justify incremental investments in advertising, promotions, and growth levers (Ads, Offers, etc.).
06. Drive retail media adoption and monetization strategies, using performance insights to optimize investment allocation and maximize ROI.
07. Develop and execute joint business plans (JBPs) grounded in data, aligning commercial priorities with measurable performance outcomes.
08. Act as the primary escalation point for complex operational and strategic issues, using data and structured problem-solving to drive resolution.
09. Influence and align cross-functional teams (Operations, Product, Analytics, Marketing) through clear, data-backed insights and scalable solutions.
