Your dashboards, scenarios, insights, and recommendations will be leveraged by portfolio leaders and division leadership in the strategic planning process. The work you do will shift the portfolio mix toward higher‑margin offerings (e.g., Private Label), accelerate third-party partner growth, and unlock cross‑portfolio synergies through cross-division alignment—directly impacting revenue growth, gross margin, and customer retention.

Executive visibility: present insights that inform decisions on category focus, resource allocation, and product roadmaps. Portfolio strategy: size markets (TAM/SAM/SOM), map white space, prioritize categories, and recommend expansion/exit plays tied to ROI. Focus Initiatives & Sales Blitz: own hypothesis design, targeting, funnel diagnostics, and scale-up plans to increase follow‑up and conversion. Growth business cases: develop scenarios for new offerings, Private Label expansion, and third‑party partners; partner with Finance on pro formas. Decision engines: build and maintain executive‑ready Power BI dashboards that drive STRAP, QBRs, and monthly reviews; reduce manual reporting. Cross‑functional orchestration: be the connective tissue across Commercial, Portfolio Management, Finance, and Market Development—turn insights into action with clear owners, OKRs, and timelines. Enablement: deliver tools, playbooks, and training for frontline teams (e.g., PL alternatives tables, gap/contract compliance analyses). Governance & outcomes: define metrics (e.g., pipeline, win rate, mix, program revenue) and lead a cadence to track, learn, and iterate.
