• Maintain and refresh automated dashboards on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
• Support management reporting for Sales, Marketing, General Management, and Nordic Commercial Leadership.
• Perform ad hoc analyses related to customer segments, pricing, tenders, portfolio performance, and commercial initiatives.
• Contribute to KPI harmonization and cross-country consistency.

• Validate and cross-check external data sources against internal systems.
• Deliver accurate customer statistics and analytical support within agreed timelines.
