This senior advisory role sits at the intersection of CPG commercial data, data foundation strategy, platform thinking and executive stakeholder engagement. The advisor will work with senior client leaders, including VP, SVP and Executive Committee-level stakeholders, to shape data roadmaps, prioritise capabilities and translate complex data infrastructure decisions into clear business narratives.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong consulting background, deep CPG / FMCG data expertise and a solid understanding of modern data foundation approaches, including data governance, data products, AI-enabled automation and scalable platform operating models.

Key Responsibilities

Translate complex data, technology and operating model decisions into clear, commercially relevant narratives.
Advise on CPG / FMCG data ecosystems, including syndicated data, POS data, panel data, market performance data and third-party commercial datasets.
Guide clients on the acquisition, harmonisation, governance and delivery of data from providers such as NIQ, IQVIA, IRI / Circana, retailer POS and other market measurement sources.
Bridge business and technology teams to ensure data foundation decisions support commercial outcomes such as revenue growth management, market performance, media ROI, trade effectiveness, sales analytics and category growth.
Advise on modern data foundation principles, including data governance, standardisation, metadata, lineage, quality, interoperability, semantic layers, data products and reuse.
Support the design of scalable data operating models, including ownership, stewardship, governance forums, decision rights and adoption mechanisms.
Bring awareness of latest technology approaches, including cloud data platforms, AI-enabled automation, data quality automation, ingestion automation and modern data architecture patterns.

Required Experience

Minimum 12 years of experience across consulting, data strategy, CPG analytics, data transformation or enterprise platform advisory roles.
