Position Title: Senior Analyst, Global Customer Intelligence
Position Type: Regular - Full-Time
Requisition ID: 43067
In every role, McCainers are ambitious, curious, and passionate about creating exceptional work experiences - together. With a customer-first mindset, we make doing business with McCain easy.
About the role.
McCain feeds the world - and the way we grow is by helping the world's biggest food customers grow with us. Our retail, restaurant, and foodservice partners don't just want a supplier; they expect a strategic partner who brings sharper insight into their shoppers, menus, and categories than they have themselves.
This role sits at the intersection of analytics and storytelling, partnering directly with Sales Leaders who own McCain's global strategic customer relationships. You will develop a deep understanding of each customer's growth strategy, consumer behavior, and category dynamics, and translate that into compelling, insight-driven narratives that influence joint business planning, annual line reviews, and long-term growth strategies.
This is an "AND" role - for someone who is both a rigorous data analyst and a creative storyteller, capable of producing client-ready insights that are defensible, actionable, and impactful.
