The role is for an e-commerce department store in the Netherlands. The transition from a post-order company to one of the largest e-commerce retailers has been a successful one with YOY growth of over 20% and sales of nearly 3⁄4 billion Euros.

You translate this into a solid, well-founded budget & forecast and track, analyze and steer the performance. You manage the periodic reporting cycle, making sure you really understand the underlying causes of variances, trends in marketing spent, ROI, and possible impact on business decisions, which you discuss with the business in the monthly performance reviews.
