Senior Financial Analyst, Economic Insights & Analytics at a Glance….
As a Senior Analyst on Kraft Heinz's Economic Insights & Analytics team, you will sit at the intersection of macroeconomics, consumer data, and company strategy — informing decisions that reach the Global and NA CFOs, Business Unit leaders, and the C-Suite. This team shapes how one of the world's largest food & beverage companies understands its business, and your fingerprints will be on that work from day one.

What’s on the menu?

• Own the "single source of truth” - lead weekly US consumption market share and monthly business reporting routines, delivering sharp insights across Business Units to senior leadership.
• Become the go-to expert on consumption and panel data, Power BI dashboards, and Circana — guiding cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders to faster, better decisions.
• Step into high-visibility, high-impact work with Kraft Heinz’s most senior leaders — tackling timely ad hoc strategic questions, uncovering insights on industry and competitive dynamics, and helping inform the decisions that shape where the business goes next.
• Drive the Economic Outlook, a flagship publication reaching 1,000+ internal stakeholders, packed with macroeconomic trends, industry intelligence, and custom insights.
• Support macroeconomic forecasting across ~30 categories in Kraft Heinz's $170B industry — building assumptions, running models, and presenting findings to US Leadership ahead of key planning cycles.
• Serve as the liaison between internal stakeholders and external partners to refine macroeconomic models and ensure forecast assumptions align with business expectations.
• Monitor and synthesize Food & Beverage, macroeconomic, consumer, and geopolitical trends — translating them into actionable narratives for the organization's most influential decision-makers.
• Champion AI-powered efficiency — leverage tools like Claude and Copilot to automate reporting, accelerate insight development, and continuously raise the bar.

• Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills; a compelling presenter who makes data come alive
• Comfortable with big data sets, ambiguity, and energized by fast-paced, high-stakes environments
• Genuinely curious about macroeconomic trends, geopolitical shifts, F&B industry trends, and their effects on consumer behavior and business performance
• Solutions-oriented with exceptional attention to detail, strong time management, and a drive to make an outsized impact. Background in CPG, Consulting, Finance, Economics, Banking, or Market Research
• Experience with Circana/IRI, Federal Reserve, or BLS data; hands-on statistical modeling or macroeconomic forecasting
