Retail Insights Analyst

SPINS is focused on helping our clients achieve sustained, profitable growth.

Retail is the cornerstone of SPINS as our Retail Partners are the primary source of data fueling our front-end applications and enabling our proprietary Product Intelligence. The retail team is focused on recruiting, retaining and expanding our partnerships with retailers and distributors to ensure their sustained growth. Our distributor partnerships are a critical part of this eco-system and tightly interwoven with our retail partners. Our distributor partners are the main enabler of products making it onto retail shelves from our brand partners.

Our Recruiting Team and Partnership/Expansion Teams are the two big buckets of things we do.

• Recruiting focuses on identifying and enlisting new retail partners to join the SPINS eco system.
• The Partnership/Expansion teams focus on delivering impact to our retail and distributor partners by leveraging our data insights and applications to help them grow their business.
• The Retail Support Team uses SPINS industry-leading Natural, Organic, and Specialty Products Retail Market Information in combination with analytics and strategic analyses to generate powerful insights.

The "North Star" of the Retail Team is Client Impact – when our retail partners are successful, we're successful. That means taking a very high touch, committed approach to working with our retail partners to unlock new insights for growth. We are passionate about building expertise in the "business of retail" as well as deepening our expertise in the data that powers key retail decisions.
