  • Implementation of retail marketing campaigns and follow up on local marketing initiatives such as store events, local partnerships and social media activations in collaboration with Trade / Retail marketing team.

Support new store openings

  • Play an active role in the launch and operational setup of new brand stores and Shop in the Shops.
  • Support projects from preparation through to successful opening and ongoing operations.

What you bring
