About The Role
Do you thrive on turning complex data into commercial advantage and influencing strategic decisions?
In this role, you’ll provide business-critical analysis and insight across Frontline Distribution Solutions in the UK and Ireland. It’s a highly visible, cross-functional leadership role, ideal for someone who combines strong analytical thinking with commercial impact and team leadership.
You’ll lead and develop a team of analysts, setting the standard for insight excellence and owning the Range Review process across all retailers. Working closely with National Account and Category Management teams, you’ll optimise space, revenue, and profitability for our partners and clients while maximising distribution at retail.
You’ll also play a key role in driving proactive, strategic decision-making across the Trade Marketing teams, delivering market-leading, actionable insights that influence performance and growth.
We’re looking for a Retail Range & Commercial Insights Manager to elevate how Frontline delivers insight and commercial value across its publisher and retail partnerships. In this pivotal leadership role, you’ll own and continuously evolve our range review approach—identifying opportunities for growth and translating data into compelling strategies that influence senior stakeholders across Trade Marketing, National Accounts, Category Management, BI, and publishing partners.
