Develop and maintain scorecards and dashboards covering KPIs such as revenue, margin, sell-through, stock, ROI, and productivity.

Ensure data consistency and alignment between commercial and financial views of the business. Proactively challenge assumptions with facts and propose data-driven solutions.
