• Analyze promotion data, performance metrics, and trends to support strategic planning and operational decision-making.
• Develop and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), outcome measures, and performance reporting frameworks.
• Maintain and enhance data management systems, ensuring data accuracy, integrity, governance, and quality assurance.
• Prepare defensible reports, audits, business cases, and evidence-based recommendations using reliable data and analysis.
