• Own Customer Engagement: Develop and execute a customer engagement plan that drives relationships, satisfaction, and loyalty across the region.
• Collaborate for Success: Work seamlessly with internal stakeholders to align on business priorities, ensuring a unified approach to achieving results.
• Manage Budgets: Oversee discretionary and overhead budgets in line with budget, ensuring effective and efficient use of resources.
• Coaching and Development: Develop and implement a targeted infield coaching plan for your direct reports, empowering them to grow and succeed in their roles.

Your Edge:

• Proven Leadership: You’ve led high-performing teams and delivered exceptional sales results, particularly in liquor, FMCG, pharmaceutical or adjacent industries.
• Strategic Thinker: You can balance short-term objectives with long-term growth, making decisions that have a lasting impact on both the business and the customer.
• Relationship Builder: You know how to nurture strong partnerships with key customers, ensuring success is a shared goal.
• Financial Acumen: Managing budgets, forecasts, and trade spend investments is second nature to you – and you do it with precision and care.
