Our ambition is to become the world's most trusted wellness partner, chosen by over 100 million people worldwide.  Our Analytics organisation is structured into five verticals: four embedded analytics areas aligned to key business functions, and a central Business Intelligence team focused on cross-functional reporting and performance enablement. Together with our Data Engineering and Data Science colleagues, we make data a strategic lever to achieve H&B's goals.  As Senior Analytics Manager in the Core Business Analytics team, you will lead the Commercial (Ops) analytics vertical—covering pricing, promotions, stock exit, and operational performance.
