  • Execute planograms, display guidelines, visual references, artwork, and Axis rules across the region.
  • Follow up on market execution and proactively identify opportunities to improve visibility, customer experience, and overall retail excellence.
  • Provide practical VM solutions according to individual store conditions, including space constraints, assortment, stock availability, customer profile, and business priorities.
  • Ensure VM execution supports both brand image and commercial objectives, with particular attention to key categories, launches, and strategic products.

2. Launch Development & Execution

  • Manage the adaptation, production, allocation, and implementation of launch materials and soft POSM across SEAOC markets.
  • Adapt Regional assets where required, including cropping, sizing, language requirements, and Travel Retail SEAOC-specific formats.
  • Develop clear launch display guidelines and planograms for Retail Managers, Beauty Consultants, retailers, and local partners to ensure consistent execution.
  • Coordinate closely with Marketing, Commercial, and Regional teams to determine launch priorities and VM requirements by market and door.
  • Monitor launch implementation and follow up on execution quality, rectification, and completion.
  • Maintain systematic launch and VM photo reports for Regional review.

3. Animations, Pop-ups & High-Profile Projects

  • Manage VM development and execution for animations, pop-ups, podiums, High-Profile Promotions (HPP), and retailer-specific activations across SEAOC.
  • Act as the key VM contact between Regional teams, retailers, agencies, and vendors throughout project development and execution.
  • Translate commercial and marketing objectives into impactful visual executions while ensuring compliance with Guerlain's brand standards.
  • Review retailer technical requirements, site conditions, and proposed layouts, and provide VM recommendations.
  • Manage projects end-to-end, including design adaptation, technical review, production, installation, on-site execution, snagging, and rectification.
  • Challenge and improve proposals where appropriate, identifying creative and cost-effective alternatives without compromising brand image.
  • Ensure projects are delivered according to agreed timelines, quality standards, and budgets.
  • Conduct post-project reviews and maintain documentation and execution records.

4. New Store Openings, Renovations & Permanent Counters

  • Support VM planning for new store openings, renovations, relocations, and counter upgrades across the SEAOC region.
  • Work closely with the Regional Store Design & VM team to review VM requirements for new counter and boutique concepts.
  • Review VM planograms, visual placements, product displays, and merchandising layouts to ensure operational and commercial effectiveness.
  • Prepare opening VM requirements, including campaign visuals, product displays, PVM, planograms, videos, and other soft merchandising elements.
  • Coordinate VM tools and collateral required for each opening and ensure readiness according to the project timeline.
  • Support on-site VM set-up for strategic openings and renovations.
  • Identify and resolve inconsistencies between Store Design, hard merchandising, and soft merchandising requirements before opening.
  • Support VM-related operational works and upgrades for existing counters to continuously improve store image and retail effectiveness.

5. Market Execution & Retail Excellence

  • Partner closely with Commercial and Marketing teams to understand market performance, retailer priorities, and business opportunities, and translate these into relevant VM actions.
  • Conduct regular market and store visits to assess execution quality and identify improvement opportunities.
  • Provide hands-on VM support and coaching to Retail Managers, Beauty Consultants, and local partners.
  • Monitor the condition and relevance of VM materials across doors and proactively recommend replacements or updates.
  • Review competitor activities, launches, animations, and retail environments to identify relevant trends and best practices.
  • Ensure VM execution reflects the specific dynamics of Travel Retail, including passenger flow, visibility, customer journey, category adjacencies, and retailer requirements.
  • Provide clear and actionable feedback following market visits and follow through on agreed corrective actions.

6. Vendor, Production & Logistics Management

  • Manage VM vendors for soft POSM, printing, adaptations, installations, and other VM-related production.
  • Manage production timelines, quotations, procurement processes, and invoice follow-up where applicable.
