• Reconcile supplier funding and promotional income to agreed terms, ensuring claims are raised, collected and variances resolved.
• Establish the EG baseline by store cluster and category, covering sales, units, gross margin, rate of sale, waste and supplier income.
• Assess proposed range changes against the baseline and quantify value at risk, including delists, substitutions, space changes, regional needs and supply constraints.
