  • Decode consumer research and survey results to understand value perception, willingness to pay, Key Value Items, occasions, channel preferences and pricing thresholds.
  • Partner with the Data & Revenue Science team on outputs such as elasticity, market basket, tiering and optimization; translate technical results into commercial insights and a clear "so what" for the business.

  • Support stakeholder interviews, market working sessions and workshops; capture inputs, synthesize themes and convert discussion into actions.
  • Own defined analyses or workstreams with strong attention to detail, process discipline, deadlines and output quality.

  • Typically, 0-4 years of relevant experience; strong campus candidates and early-career hires from consulting, analytics, finance, strategy, consumer or digital businesses are encouraged to apply.
