Purpose of the role
Provide dedicated analytical support to the Commercial & Operational Excellence Lead.
Use machine-level, product-level, transactional, and operational data to identify performance improvements and turn opportunities into practical actions.
The role is not reporting-only; it requires proactive investigation and independent use of SQL.
Performance and optimization work
- Analyze machine productivity, sales per machine, vends, average selling price, and availability to improve sales, gross margin, and profitability.
- Compare machines, locations, and customer segments, investigate performance drivers, and identify ways to improve underperforming locations.
- Analyze product sales, rate of sale, price, cost, and gross margin by SKU, machine, site, and category.
- Use sales history, capacity, facings, demand, service frequency, and target fill to recommend ranges, facings, and fill levels.
- Identify slow-moving products or capacity that could generate more revenue or gross profit; evaluate planogram changes and refine recommendations using results.
- Analyze price, volume, cost, and margin; identify pricing opportunities and develop price-elasticity hypotheses.
- Design and analyze controlled pricing trials against appropriate control groups; recommend actions based on total financial opportunity.
- Find gross margin opportunities in product mix, range, pricing, and sourcing; investigate wastage, stock loss, and shrinkage root causes.
- Work with Procurement, Category, and Supply Chain on product substitutions, accounting for consumer and volume impact.
Operations and trials
- Analyze the relationship between sales, machine capacity, stock levels, product availability, and service frequency.
- Analyze revenue and vends per visit and assess whether visit frequency can be reduced without affecting sales, availability, or customer experience.
- Work with Operations and Planning to identify, quantify, and help implement productivity opportunities across branches, routes, and teams.
- Support controlled trials and pilots for pricing, planograms, range, visit frequency, and operational changes, establishing baselines, success measures, and suitable control groups or benchmarks.
- Account for seasonality, trends, and site differences when evaluating performance.
Candidate profile
- Be curious and commercially minded, comfortable investigating why performance varies across machines, products, locations, customers, and operating models.
- Use SQL confidently to access and shape data rather than relying on BI for every question.
- Translate analytical findings into practical, implementable improvement actions.
