Senior Manager, Enterprise Analytics Platform

Full job description

Business Unit Description:

Feeding the world is what we do – how we do it is unique. We are not your textbook consumer packaged goods company. While others may be slow to make change happen, Post continuously drives both inorganic and organic growth. Our history is evidence of that fact with over 100 years of heritage and growth from brands that transcend generations like Honey Bunches of Oats, Fruity Pebbles, Malt-O-Meal, Bob Evans Farms, Kibbles 'n Bits, Egg Beaters, Peter Pan Peanut Butter, Ronzoni Pasta and more. Our foodservice and ingredient businesses supply other products you love for brands, restaurants and stores.

Our offices and manufacturing sites are in 62 locations in five countries, and we have 11,500+ employees. Over the past 10 years, Post has made 22+ acquisitions and reached $7 billion in net sales in fiscal 2023. During turbulent times of market uncertainty, the food industry has provided a level of stability unlike other industries.

Post Holdings, Inc. is headquartered in Brentwood, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. Our casual professional atmosphere encourages team members to collaborate, innovate and support our operating companies. Our passion and drive advance the reputation of our operating companies and brands—together, we make a difference.

Responsibilities:

Do you love to solve high value problems? That’s what we do. All our innovations and accomplishments begin with the work of talented people. At Post Holdings, we give our people the resources they need to grow a career and solve problems, no matter where they’re starting from. We’re seeking innovative thinkers, ready to take on everyday challenges and realize their own potential. And it all happens in an environment that respects the relationship between work and life. The Decision Science team helps our operating companies solve their most challenging problems and drives decisions with data.

Over the last eight years, we have delivered millions in ROI through value measured in revenue lift, cost save, cost avoidance and time saved. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The primary objective of the Enterprise Analytic Platform Manger is to enable people to deliver this magnitude of value through the strategic use of technology and ensuring that our data is exchanged, stored and used in a secure manner that meets or exceeds our corporate security posture.

While we are a food company, the Decision Science team’s core business are our people. We believe in unleashing the raw talent and developing our team and business partners. You will be at the heart of this by sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and being receptive to learning from others.
