• Turn data into business insights: Monitor Perfect Store and SFA/Image Recognition performance, identify execution gaps across regions, channels and store segments, and translate findings into actionable recommendations for Sales and Trade Marketing.
• Monitor performance and KPI governance: Ensure that Perfect Store and Field Force KPIs are accurately defined, calculated and monitored, supporting performance scorecards, target setting and business reviews with Sales leadership.
• Drive system adoption and continuous improvement: Monitor user adoption, data quality and training needs, supporting colleagues in embedding Perfect Store standards and processes into their daily activities.
• Act as the business owner of SFA/IR solutions: Serve as the main Iberia business contact for the systems, consolidate feedback from users and Sales Managers, coordinate with local IT and external vendors, and follow up on incidents and improvement requests.
