- Shape the performance story: Own concise narratives for weekly, monthly and quarterly business reviews, translating analysis into what happened, why it happened and what we should do next.
- Turn complexity into decisions: Create executive-ready packs, papers and decision notes that bring together performance signals and provide a consistent view of growth, risk, underperformance and opportunity.
- Own the critical business questions: Define and prioritise the questions facing Tesco Media, develop hypotheses and brief analytical work to test them, challenging assumptions and keeping recommendations grounded in evidence and commercial context.
- Connect insight across the business: Partner with BI, Commercial Analytics, Sales Operations, Yield, Finance, Product and Propositions to bring together evidence across datasets, metrics and business forums.
- Drive insight into action: Support insight-to-action reviews, track decisions and measurable outcomes, and work alongside BI & Reporting to improve consistency in metric definitions, narrative quality and reporting interpretation.
You’ll bring strong commercial judgement, analytical thinking and the ability to turn complex information into clear recommendations for senior stakeholders.
- Advanced business and commercial acumen, with strong data analysis, interpretation, problem-solving and root-cause analysis skills.
- Excellent insight storytelling and executive communication skills, with the ability to explain what is happening, why it matters and what action is needed to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Strong stakeholder management, collaboration and influencing skills, with the confidence to challenge assumptions constructively and work across multiple specialist teams.
- Experience using hypothesis-led analysis to diagnose commercial performance, identify opportunities and risks, and translate findings into measurable actions.
- Understanding of retail media, media, ecommerce, digital advertising or marketplace business models would be valuable, alongside experience interpreting BI tools, data products, Looker dashboards or commercial performance metrics.
