Build and own the total GB outlet universe: define what counts as an outlet in each channel, then size and segment it by combining licensed premises data, food business registers, points of interest data, wholesaler and distributor records, and our own field sales data.
Work with Data Science at HQ to design methodologies for estimating the universe and our distribution in channels where no single provider covers the market, including sampling approaches, extrapolation, weighting and stated confidence levels.
Working closely with the REACH Strategy Manager, establish and run a monthly tracking cycle for horizontal distribution: numeric distribution by channel and account type, with clear rules on versioning, restatement and when the universe is re-based.
Validate modelled estimates against ground truth from field audits, wholesaler and distributor sell-out data and customer data, and document known gaps, biases and margins of error openly.
Turn the market read into action: prioritised outlet target lists, white space maps and channel opportunity sizing that field sales and channel teams can work from directly.
