Strong process and analytical skills are essential to transform data into actionable insights. You should have a strong bias for action and the ability to simplify complex information. A natural curiosity to understand the drivers of performance for both the category and Beiersdorf is crucial. You will use these insights to develop relevant proposals that help us compete in the market and sustain category growth.
