Director of Insights & Analytics

LaSalle Network
Evanston, IL

We’re supporting a growing food & beverage brand—backed by a passionate leadership team—as they expand their Insights & Analytics function. This newly created role will play a critical part in helping the organization turn data into direction. You’ll partner closely with brand and innovation leaders to answer big business questions, guide go-to-market planning, and influence how performance is tracked across consumer, category, and channel levels.

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves using data to fuel strategy—and who thrives on connecting the dots between consumer behavior, brand performance, and commercial growth.

Director of Insights & Analytics Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the right-hand insights partner to the marketing and innovation teams, helping to shape brand plans, product pipeline strategy, and in-market execution.

  • Work with syndicated data sources (Nielsen, Circana, Kantar, etc.) and internal KPIs to uncover what’s working, what’s shifting, and where to focus next.

  • Build frameworks for measuring performance across campaigns, categories, and channels—helping senior leaders make informed, data-backed decisions.

  • Package complex data into simple, compelling stories that resonate with cross-functional partners and executive teams.

  • Identify where insights processes can be improved or scaled, and propose new ways of working to enhance data fluency across the organization.

  • Oversee and mentor a high-performing insights professional while working collaboratively with global insights partners.

Director of Insights & Analytics Requirements:

  • 8+ years in insights, analytics, or strategic planning roles within the CPG or food/bev space.

  • A mix of strategic thinking and hands-on analytics—you know how to dig into the numbers but also when to pull up and drive big-picture thinking.

  • Experience influencing senior stakeholders and driving alignment across marketing, innovation, sales, and finance.

  • Familiarity with industry-standard tools like Nielsen, Circana, Power BI; technical expertise is not required, but comfort with data storytelling is essential.

  • A pragmatic problem-solver who doesn’t get lost in analysis paralysis and can adapt quickly in a growth-focused environment.

Apply today if the above matches your skillsets!
