• Support reporting across sustainability, ethical sourcing, and supply chain performance metrics.
• Improve reporting processes through automation and simplification.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand reporting requirements.
• Present findings and recommendations to operational and senior stakeholders.

• Strong experience as a Reporting Analyst, Data Analyst, or MI Analyst.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
• Strong Power Query experience.
• Experience working with Power BI.
• Ability to analyse large and complex datasets.
• Experience extracting insight from multiple data sources.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Experience producing KPI and management reporting.

• Experience with reporting automation tools such as Power Automate.
