  • Own territory performance: Deliver agreed sales, margin, distribution, and productivity targets while maintaining strong relationships with trade partners and retailers.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Economics, or related field.
  • 5+ years' FMCG sales and distribution experience, including Wholesale and Open Market/Neighbourhood Store retail.
  • Proven track record managing Distributors and Wholesalers.
