The key purpose of the role is to produce actionable insights and reporting in support of the Strategic Insights team and its key stakeholders, leveraging both external and internal data sources.                                                                                                                                      

Produce recurring industry reports that summarize key industry trends:

• Produce monthly Nielsen and NABCA trend updates for the broad organization, covering category and brand performance in the industry
• Provide general support each fiscal half leading up to earnings and the various investor relations materials that need to be produced
• Produce key insights to prepare senior leaders for their recurring monthly meetings, as well as periodic meetings with investors, analysts, and the press

Support the Insights team to answer ad hoc strategic questions from executive and other key stakeholders:

• With increasing regularity, the Strategic Insights team is being tasked with running one-off projects to answer key strategic questions from senior leaders in the organization
• These topics can cover a wide range, and involve creative problem solving in an industry that has imperfect data, often with tight deadlines
• In coordination with the team’s Director and Managers, the Analyst will provide key data and analysis support to help identify the key take-aways that answer these ad hoc questions.
• Answer ad hoc questions for various teams across the organization in a timely manner regarding different aspects of performance from the syndicated data

Support the team’s efforts to maintain a “unified” view of the two main syndicated data sources:

• The team has produced a combined view of Diageo’s two primary syndicated data sources in the US Spirits industry, linked at a brand-specific level between NABCA & Nielsen
• This combined dataset serves as the foundation for a large portion of the work that the Insights team does, and the Analyst will help support the maintenance of the “unified” view of the data

• Bachelor’s Degree
• 1-2 years of work experience preferred, though not a strict requirement
• Strong Excel, PowerPoint, and writing skills required
• Preference for some exposure to PowerBI
• Ability to deal with ambiguity, imperfect data, and changing priorities and timelines
• Strong team player and eager learner
