Tiger Analytics is an advanced analytics consulting firm. We are the trusted analytics partner for several Fortune 100 companies, enabling them to generate business value from data. Our consultants bring deep expertise in Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI. Our business value and leadership have been recognized by various market research firms, including Forrester and Gartner.
We are looking for a Value Strategy Consultant owning the business relationship with brand planning teams and serving as the strategic voice of allocation performance. You will not manage the allocation engine or build dashboards; your role is to interpret what the numbers mean, why outcomes occur, and what should change, using automated diagnostic tools to translate insights into clear recommendations for vendors, internal partners, and leadership.
This role is part strategist, part diagnostician, and part trusted advisor, acting as a fiduciary advocate for brands by proactively identifying issues, driving solutions, and communicating with transparency.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Business Performance Ownership
- Lead bi-weekly allocation performance reviews with brand planning teams, covering service level, sales, GM$, GM%, GMROI, sell-through, and allocation accuracy.
- Present KPI diagnostics with root-cause analysis: not just “what happened” but “why it happened” and “what we’re doing about it.”
- Produce quarterly business reviews for executive leadership that synthesize allocation performance trends and strategic recommendations.
- Diagnostic Analysis & Issue Identification
- Leverage existing dashboards and alerting tools to monitor allocation outcomes across all brands at the store-SKU level.
- Where tools are lacking, work with technical team to get the artifact built or enhanced.
- Identify emerging issues before they become problems: sell-through falling behind pace, inventory building in the wrong stores, stockout patterns that signal a model or grading issue.
- Decompose KPI misses into demand-side drivers (forecast accuracy, trend shifts) and supply-side drivers (misallocation, replenishment lag, pack constraints) to pinpoint actionable root causes.
- Analyze outcomes across product lifecycle types (basics, seasonal basics, fashion) and tailor diagnostic frameworks to each.
- Action & Accountability
- Translate diagnostic findings into specific vendor improvement tickets with clear success criteria — push the vendor to improve their model where the data warrants it.
- Define requirements for in-house diagnostic tools and work with the technical team to prioritize development.
- Advise brand planning teams on allocation strategy decisions: store eligibility, DC holdback levels, size curve adjustments, replenishment throttling for end-of-season.
- Own the vendor accountability framework: maintain the RACI, track vendor action rates, and escalate when commitments are not met.
- Communication & Stakeholder Management
- Operate on a proactive communication cadence: reach out to stakeholders with findings and recommendations, don’t wait for them to ask.
- Build trust as a fiduciary partner — the brands should believe you are watching their business and will advocate for their outcomes.
- Manage the narrative during the transition from the prior consulting model: demonstrate early wins, set realistic expectations, and build confidence in the new capability.
