Director of Analytics

A leading consumer products manufacturer needed a Director of Analytics with deep Walmart experience, advanced Scintilla expertise, and the ability to translate complex data into actionable business recommendations.

The company had recently invested in an expanded version of Scintilla and needed a leader who could build the processes, reporting capabilities, and internal routines required to make effective use of the platform.

The client needed more than a technically strong analyst. The successful candidate had to combine advanced analytics capabilities with Walmart knowledge, business judgment, executive communication skills, and the leadership ability to strengthen the company’s analytics function.

The individual also needed to influence business decisions—not simply produce reports. This meant translating complex data into clear recommendations that senior leaders and commercial teams could understand and act upon.

This combination created a limited candidate pool. Many candidates possessed strong technical skills or strong business communication skills, but relatively few offered both, along with extensive Walmart and Scintilla experience.

Match Point Recruiting presented three highly qualified candidates. The client hired a leader who brought the Walmart knowledge, analytical expertise, business judgment, and executive communication skills required for the position.

The new Director immediately began making impactful business recommendations and strengthening the company’s ability to turn Scintilla data into actionable insights.

The individual has since become a highly visible and valued leader—not only within the Walmart team, but across the broader organization.
