Portfolio & Insights Analyst

Help shape what happens next.

Most analysts tell the business what happened.

This role helps shape what happens next.

Which products we launch.

Which products we grow.

Which products we simplify.

And where we invest for the future.

Working across Marketing, Sales, Supply Chain, Finance and Technical teams, you'll help shape portfolio strategy, product lifecycle decisions, innovation priorities and commercial outcomes across ANZ.

You'll turn insights into recommendations that influence where we invest, what we launch, what we optimise and how we grow.
