Key Responsibilities
Pipeline Analytics — Creation, Health, Movement & Conversion
- Analyze pipeline creation, health, movement, coverage, progression, conversion, and quality across Market Units and demand sources — applying advanced data analysis techniques to assess how well each market unit’s sales pipeline is being built, maintained, and converted into closed business, identifying the specific pipeline metrics (coverage ratio, stage progression velocity, average deal cycle time, conversion rate by stage, demand source quality) that most clearly indicate pipeline health and future revenue predictability across the regional portfolio
- Build and maintain pipeline performance reports — developing the structured, consistently formatted, and clearly visualized pipeline performance reporting suite that gives the Regional Demand Manager and Market Unit leads a regular, accurate, and actionable view of pipeline status across the full regional portfolio, ensuring that reports are produced on schedule, reflect the most current data, and are formatted in a way that clearly highlights the most important performance insights without requiring extensive manual interpretation
- Identify trends, gaps, risks, anomalies, and growth opportunities — applying systematic analytical pattern recognition to the pipeline data to distinguish meaningful performance trends from short-term noise, identify structural pipeline coverage gaps that will constrain future revenue if not addressed, flag demand conversion anomalies that suggest process or data quality issues, and surface the specific growth opportunities in demand source development or pipeline progression that the data reveals but that stakeholders may not have identified independently
- Improve and automate reporting and analytics processes — reducing the manual data manipulation, formula maintenance, and report formatting work that currently consumes analyst time by developing more automated, more reliable, and more scalable reporting and analytics workflows using Excel automation, Power Query, Power BI refresh scheduling, or other automation approaches that improve report accuracy while reducing production time
Demand Review Support, Strategic Presentations & Insight Delivery
- Provide actionable data-driven insights to the Regional Demand Manager — translating complex pipeline analytics findings into the specific, clearly stated, and commercially framed analytical recommendations that enable the Regional Demand Manager to make informed decisions about demand programme priorities, market unit support needs, and pipeline improvement interventions with confidence that the analytical foundation is accurate, current, and appropriately contextualized
- Support monthly demand reviews and strategic presentations — preparing the analytical content, pipeline performance summaries, trend analyses, and supporting data visualizations that make monthly demand review meetings and strategic planning presentations factually grounded and analytically rigorous, ensuring that discussion in these meetings is based on accurate data rather than anecdote, and that decisions made in these forums are supported by evidence that participants can review and interrogate
- Support Demand Programmes — providing the specific analytical inputs, programme performance tracking, and data-based evaluation that enables Demand Programmes to assess their pipeline generation effectiveness, identify which demand generation activities are producing the highest quality pipeline, and optimize programme investment allocation toward the approaches that demonstrably deliver the best pipeline creation and conversion outcomes
- Ensure accuracy and consistency of recurring reports and analysis — maintaining the data validation, cross-check, and quality assurance discipline that ensures all regularly produced pipeline reports and analyses meet the accuracy standard that regional leadership and Market Unit teams can rely on without independently verifying underlying calculations or data inputs
Stakeholder Partnership, Market Unit Engagement & Growth Identification
- Partner with Market Units, Demand Managers, and PMOs to identify growth opportunities — building productive working relationships with the regional stakeholders who own pipeline data and demand activities, developing the business context understanding that allows data-driven growth opportunity identification to be specific and actionable rather than generic, and maintaining the data quality and analytical relevance that makes the Demand Planning Analyst function genuinely valued by the Market Unit and PMO partners it serves
- Translate data into actionable business insights — applying the analytical communication discipline that converts complex dataset analysis into the specific, jargon-free, commercially framed insights and recommendations that non-technical business stakeholders can directly act on, presenting findings in the clear written and visual formats that convey analytical conclusions efficiently to the Regional Demand Manager, Market Unit leads, and other senior stakeholders
Qualifications & Requirements
Must-Have Requirements
- Advanced Excel and strong data analysis skills — demonstrated through relevant work experience analyzing large datasets in Excel with complex formulas, Pivot Tables, and data modeling
- Experience analyzing large datasets and identifying trends and performance drivers — with a track record of producing data-driven insights that have been used to support business decision-making
- Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills — applied to commercial analytics challenges where the correct interpretation of data has real business consequences
- Ability to translate data into actionable business insights — communicating analytical findings in clear, business-framed language and formats that non-technical stakeholders can directly act on
- Strong attention to detail and data accuracy — maintaining the quality discipline that accurate recurring pipeline reporting demands
- Excellent English communication skills — written and verbal, for effective stakeholder engagement across Market Units, Demand Managers, and PMOs
Strong Plus (Highly Valued)
- Pipeline, sales, or business performance analytics experience — in a sales operations, PMO, or business analytics context where pipeline metrics and demand conversion are the primary analytical subject matter
- Power BI proficiency — dashboard development, visualization design, and reporting that goes beyond static Excel outputs to interactive, self-serve BI reporting
- SAP reporting tools and SAP ecosystem knowledge — for extracting, manipulating, and reporting on business data from SAP environments
- Understanding of Cloud, SaaS/PaaS digital business models — providing the commercial context for pipeline analytics in a technology organization where subscription and recurring revenue dynamics shape demand planning metrics
