THE ROLE

The Key Account Analyst is the analytical partner to our national sales team, focused on our key accounts in the Gas & Convenience (G&C) channel. You will turn sales, POS and trade data into clear insight that drives distribution, retail execution and growth, working closely with Sales, Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain. Success means sales leadership gets timely, reliable data on account performance, Sales and Operations stay in sync, and you are consistently surfacing opportunities that grow the business.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Be the link between Sales and our data and operations teams, making sure the sales team gets reliable, timely reporting on G&C key accounts, brands, SKUs and regions, and chasing down data gaps so Sales doesn’t have to.
• Analyze retailer POS, distribution, inventory and velocity data to find gaps in distribution, assortment, pricing and in-store execution, and turn them into clear recommendations for the sales team.
• Partner with Key Account Managers on annual customer business plans, account reviews and customer presentations.
• Manage new product listings, retailer onboarding requirements and promotional submissions, and keep account trackers current.
• Act as the communication bridge between Sales and Operations on auto-distributions, new listings and customer demand, so forecasting and inventory planning run on accurate, up-to-date commercial information.
• Plan and track trade programs, run pre and post promotion analysis, and work with Finance on trade spend and customer deductions.
• Support EDI implementation and ongoing maintenance with our EDI provider.
• Improve our commercial reporting tools and present insights in weekly and monthly performance reviews.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 2 to 4 years of experience in sales analysis, key account support, category management or commercial finance
• Experience in consumer packaged goods (CPG), retail or distribution, strongly preferred
• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Finance, Economics, Marketing or a related field

• Strong commercial acumen, with a real understanding of sales, margin and trade investment
• Clear communicator who can turn complex data into a simple story for sales leadership

WHY JOIN US

• Direct line of sight to national sales leadership. Your analysis shapes how we go to market with our biggest G&C customers.
• Real ownership. You will build the reporting and processes, not just run them.
• Broad exposure across Sales, Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain in a growing Canadian brand, where the role grows as the business does.
