About this role
Ancient Crunch Inc. is the fastest-growing healthy snack brand in the U.S. They are seeking a Retail Business Insights & Analytics Manager to build the analytics backbone for Omnichannel Retail. This role involves turning various data sources into actionable insights for the sales team and leading initiatives as the company scales.
Responsibilities:
- Retail POS analysis across our retail partners — velocity, distribution, share, and out-of-stocks
- Syndicated data (Circana, Nielsen, or SPINS) — pulling it, cleaning it, turning it into a story the sales team can use in a buyer meeting
- EDI and broker performance reporting — keeping our brokers and internal team honest on the same numbers
- Retail scorecard — building the first version, then keeping them current
- Trade spend analysis — what's working, what's burning cash for no lift
- Ad hoc analysis for retail buyer meetings and internal planning — this comes up weekly, not quarterly
- Own item-level P&Ls across channels, maintaining accurate and up-to-date visibility into margin, pricing, and profitability
- Manage and optimize channel pricing strategy, ensuring consistency and competitiveness across retail partners
- Lead pack size proliferation analysis, evaluating the financial impact of new or discontinued pack configurations
- Support the Annual Operating Plan (AOP) process and long-term planning through scenario modeling and innovation forecasting
- Serve as the retail team's A.I. lead — identifying, implementing, and championing A.I. tools and workflows to improve speed and quality of analysis
- Translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations for cross-functional stakeholders
- Identify opportunities to improve reporting infrastructure, trade efficiency, and analytical processes as the business scales
Requirements:
- 4-6 years in CPG retail analytics
- Hands-on experience with Circana, Nielsen, or SPINS — not just reading someone else's reports
- Comfortable with EDI data and broker reporting structures
- SQL, plus a BI tool (Tableau, Looker, or Power BI)
- Strong in Excel — you build models, not just format spreadsheets
- Can work without a template. This function doesn't exist here yet
