Ylvi Haass / Market Analyst (B)

“As a Market Analyst I’m mainly involved in analysing the trends and evolutions of various FMCG markets and products. I work for a variety of clients and this variety in products is what makes this job so interesting: cheese, animal feed, soft drinks, coffee or biscuits. Every client has its own approach and strategy. It is my duty to shed light on the evolutions in their market and offer a solution that best matches their philosophy and strategy.

Statistics and numbers are my daily fare, even though maths wasn’t my favourite subject at school! But these numbers tell a story and it’s my job to summarise this story concisely and formulate it into a presentation for the Account Manager to give. Although commercial aspects like sales and presenting to clients are not part of my job, I do support the Account Managers in their day-to-day contact with clients.

GfK likes ambitious people, but allows everyone to develop at their own speed. They are investing in my future by offering me coaching and training, while taking account of my ambitions, capabilities and wishes. There is room to develop and you can emerge as an expert in a particular field. Opportunities are there to be taken! People work hard at GfK, but there's also plenty of time for fun and laughter. Colleagues are members of your team who are always happy to help: there’s a real team spirit, involving mutual respect and appreciation. ”
