Key Responsibilities

The role offers a unique view of how leadership decisions are made, alongside broad exposure to strategic areas including Competitive and Market Intelligence, Customer Insight, M&A, and Data and Technology.

What I'll Be Doing You will develop BOAP by translating executive priorities into effective data and technology solutions, working across business and technical teams to bring these into production.
