Hi R***d, Happy to dive in. At G***s, the Market Insights & Process Improvement function sits within our broader Strategy & Analytics department. You’d report to the Director of Insights & Optimization and lead a dedicated team of market analysts and process-improvement specialists. Day-to-day you’ll partner closely with product owners, sales-ops leads and our engineering squads,across Europe (headquartered in the Netherlands) and North America,to ensure seamless end-to-end visibility. On the tech side, we operate from a centralized data warehouse that aggregates internal ERP/CRM feeds and key external market subscriptions. Our analysts leverage SQL and Python/R for deep dives, and we visualize insights through BI tools like Tableau and Power BI. We’ve also embedded real-time KPI dashboards into our Agile boards so process metrics and market trends update automatically each sprint. As for the first 90 days, the biggest challenge is two-fold: 1. Rapidly mapping our existing data and process landscape,uncovering any legacy gaps and stakeholder pain points. 2. Building cross-functional buy-in for your Lean Six Sigma and First Principles workshops, especially where teams have grown accustomed to siloed ways of working. Your R***d experience in bridging teams and leading structured improvement initiatives will be invaluable here. We back you with a structured onboarding, access to all system documentation, and a mentor from our leadership team to help you hit the ground running. Does that give you the clarity you need? If so, I’d be happy to set up a call with the hiring manager and the lead analyst to go deeper. Let me know what works for you. Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain
