    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Work with HTAS Product marketing team to make data processes more agile and efficient. Assist in data migration across PIM/CMS systems for best in class brands. Analyse and manipulate large data sets to provide business insights. Communicate complex analytical topics in a clean and simple way with EPMs (European product managers) and cross-functional stakeholders. Provide data, clean data and ensure the content data is being utilised on e-commerce channels.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have a deeper understanding of the industry and how to manipulate large data sets. My excel skills have strengthened and I am now experienced in other platforms like SAP, Qlickview, PowerBI and more. I have been able to implement a process using VBA and excel to make a process more efficient for my team, from training I have received and learnt on Focus fridays and under the buddy scheme. My communication has improved to a great extent, since I am now responsible to confidently present and take control of monthly EPM and GCX meetings.
