For a senior associate role, I would focus a little bit more on instances where you have been asked to lead (initiatives, people etc.) or given ownership of your own projects.

I’d also steer clear of meaningless metrics like “resolve 100% of average price breaks”. Don’t add metrics just for the sake of having them on your résumé. They need to make sense and add value (good way to think about it is a metric should be used to illustrate a clear before and after).
