- Cross-functional alignment: Act as the strategic bridge between the central marketing engine and local field teams to ensure flawless, synchronized strategies and execution of all activation playbooks.
What You’ll Need to Thrive
Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:
- Significant experience in consultancy or trade marketing (marketing background not strictly required): Proven track record of leading complex, cross-functional projects with measurable business impact, ideally within fast-paced industries (FMCG, e-commerce, or tech preferred).
