Technical Skills: Advanced capability in Excel and data visualization tools (Tableau) to blend external retail data with internal data sources.

Aptitude & Tool Utilization: experience utilizing modern AI tools, automated data orchestration platforms, or LLMs (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to accelerate data cleaning, automate reporting pipelines, or generate market insights.

Data-Driven Communication: ability to translate complex datasets into "sales-speak"-turning raw portal numbers and technical insights into clear, persuasive, visual stories that internal sales managers and retail buyers can easily act upon.
