Partner with Commercial and VM to optimise category space, ensuring VM space reflects productivity, strategic priorities and the desired customer journey.
- Lead the product agenda in retailer strategy meetings, bringing compelling category insights, assortment proposals and NPD recommendations; clearly articulate the product point of view and secure alignment on next steps.
