Senior Analyst – Line & Price Optimization (LPO)

We’re in tune with what the world is watching, buying, and everything in between. If you can think of it, we’re measuring it. We sift through the small stuff and piece together big pictures to provide a comprehensive understanding of what’s happening now and what’s coming next for our clients. Today’s data is tomorrow’s marketplace revelation.    

Are you ready to take your analytical skills to the next level while helping top brands make smarter pricing and product decisions? Join our LPO team as a Senior Analyst and become a key player in shaping business outcomes through advanced data analysis and client consulting.

• Present insights in a clear, compelling way — both written and verbal.

• Build and nurture basic client relationships while supporting meetings and calls.

• Propose smart solutions to project-specific challenges and help prevent future issues.

Reporting & Storytelling

• Independently prepare reports with impactful, consultative storytelling.

Thought Leadership & Integration

• Combine insights from multiple NIQ data sources for integrated recommendations.

Mentorship & Leadership
