This role is primarily based in Melbourne, but we're open to candidates based in Sydney who are willing to travel to Melbourne as needed.

Your Responsibilities

• Champion Data-Driven Decisions: Utilise findings from multiple sources and employ advanced analytics and data visualisation techniques to convert facts into actionable insights.

• Innovate with Rigour: Apply the One Insights Framework for InnoPro, Danone’s stage/gate process, to bring rigour and agility to innovation validation, helping teams define and optimise innovation launches.
• Manage Stakeholders: Collaborate with global, cross-functional, and management stakeholders, applying global processes, approaches, and case studies.

You are a dynamic and insightful professional with a passion for uncovering actionable insights that drive business success. Your background in insights management or marketing research has equipped you with the skills to analyse complex data and translate it into strategic recommendations. You excel in fast-paced environments and enjoy collaborating with diverse teams to achieve common goals. Your keen understanding of market trends and consumer behavior, combined with your ability to communicate findings effectively, makes you a valuable asset to our team.

Ideally, you will have:

• Minimum 3 years of experience in Insights/Marketing Research, preferably in FMCG, healthcare, business consultancy, or research agency.
• Proficiency in both qualitative and quantitative research methods, including innovation validation and deriving implications for marketing activations.
• Strong data analytics skills, including familiarity with retail panels, retail measurement, campaign or brand tracking, and advanced analytics for drivers and forecasting.
• Experience in moderating and interviewing for qualitative research, as well as knowledge of segmentation, U&A, and shopper studies is desirable.
