- Lead the development of more detailed functional-level and market-specific plans
- Map out risks, critical paths, and dependencies across functional and market plans
- Track and report progress of operating plan activities, providing clear insight to senior leadership on status, risks, and areas requiring intervention
About You
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Marketing, or a related field
- 4+ years of experience in Business Planning, Business Analysis, or Commercial Development roles
- Demonstrated experience working with senior leaders and influencing cross-functional decision-making
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills – able to build credibility and trust across all levels
- Strategic thinker with excellent problem-solving capabilities and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues
- A curious mindset, unafraid to challenge the status quo
- Commercially minded, with the ability to balance strategic priorities with operational detail
- Financial and business acumen, with a strong consumer-oriented perspective

Nice to Have

- Familiarity with commercial reporting dashboards or data visualisation tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau)
- Experience working with premium retail brands, with an appreciation for craftsmanship and innovation
- Skilled in the use of project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Asana, Trello).
