Our Mission

At Consumer Panel Services GfK, our mission is clear: to provide key information on who buys what, where, how much, how often, and most importantly, why (or why not). We take pride in delivering high-quality, uninterrupted data, expert consultancy, and unparalleled expertise to empower our clients to deliver superior customer experiences at every stage of the shopper journey.

Job Description

Our Nordic Consumer Panel Services team, now part of YouGov, is expanding to the Norwegian market. For this exciting journey, CPS teams up with Heco et al, who developed an app called Optius to passively collect purchase data to understand buying behavior. Based on this data, CPS will create a nationally representative consumer panel to provide shopper insights on the Norwegian FMCG and retail industry.

Therefore we are looking for a proactive and motivated Data & Quality Specialist, who is ready to make this next step a reality together with us.

As Data & Quality Specialist, you will have the following key accountabilities: 

• You support in setting up a database that covers the Norwegian FMCG market and map out the Norwegian retail landscape.

• You assist in matching the passively measured data from Optius to the CPS database, based on an algorithm and improved manually where needed.

• You aim to enhance the database and coding quality to ameliorate recognition and classification of the FMCG data.

• You analyze progress and translate those findings into actionable next steps. 

• You work closely together with a dedicated and dynamic team for this new initiative, but will be part of a broader team of data management colleagues internationally. 

• You combine working with different stakeholders to keep the project running.

Now that we have introduced you to the position as Data & Quality Specialist, what skills, qualifications and experience should you have? 

• You’ve obtained your master or bachelor’s degree in a business or marketing related field, a first professional experience is a plus.

• You have an analytical brain, yet you are fond of looking for creative and innovative solutions.

• You have a keen eye for detail in data handling and working with large datasheets, both numeric and character.

• Your heart skips a beat when you hear FMCG or retail topics and you have a clear interest in the Norwegian market.

• You work effortlessly in Excel. A solid foundation of statistical tools (SPSS or R) is a plus.

• You are a native Norwegian speaker and you combine this with a good knowledge of English.

• You love to pull the right strings to keep a project running and have clear communication skills.

• You are self-driven with a can-do mentality that not only relies on the team but also yourself to overcome the challenges along the way.

We offer:

• An adventure full of known and unforeseen challenges.

• The opportunity to further develop your professional skills and talents and build your career within FMCG and data.

• An exciting work environment that brings people together from different nationalities.

• A competitive salary package.

• A young and fearless team with space to be who you are, built on trust, respect and the right solutions.
