Job Purpose

The Trade Channel Marketing Executive is responsible for driving in‑market execution and visibility of our pet food brands across key channels and markets.

Key Result Areas & Responsibilities

Trade & Channel Program Execution

  • Support the planning and rollout of trade marketing programmes for assigned markets (SEA, NZ, AU, US) in alignment with brand and sales strategies.
  • Localise global / regional campaigns into channel‑specific activation plans (modern trade, general trade, pet specialty, veterinary, e‑commerce).
  • Prepare trade decks, sell‑in materials, and programme toolkits for distributors, key accounts and field sales teams.
  • Coordinate promo calendars, listing and relisting activities, price mechanics and in‑store / online campaigns with sales and distributors.
  • Channel Activation, POSM & Visibility

  • Execute in‑store activation plans including POSM deployment, gondola ends, shelf strips, wobblers and shopper education materials.
  • Support e‑commerce and omnichannel activations (e.g., campaign pages, banners, vouchers, bundles) in collaboration with digital and e‑commerce teams.
  • Manage POSM inventory, allocations and distribution to markets; ensure proper usage, compliance with brand guidelines and timely replenishment.
  • Assist in planning and executing pet events, trade shows and customer activations to drive trial and brand visibility.
  • Performance Tracking, Analysis & Reporting

  • Track performance of trade promotions and channel programmes (sell‑in, sell‑out, off‑take, distribution, visibility KPIs).
  • Consolidate data from distributors, retailers and internal systems into regular reports and dashboards for Sales and Marketing.
  • Identify gaps and opportunities by channel, account and market, and propose corrective actions or test‑and‑learn initiatives.
  • Monitor competitor activities (pricing, promotion, visibility, NPD) and share structured insights with stakeholders.
  • Stakeholder & Partner Collaboration

  • Collaborate closely with Sales, Key Account Management, Brand Marketing, e‑commerce and Supply Chain to ensure aligned execution.
  • Work with distributors and key retail partners to secure visibility, implement agreed programmes and resolve on‑ground issues.
  • Support training for distributor and field sales teams on brand fundamentals, product knowledge and key trade programmes.
  • Maintain clear documentation and communication of plans, timelines and expectations to all stakeholders.
  • Ad Hoc Projects & Continuous Improvement

  • Participate in cross‑functional projects (e.g., new market launches, channel pilots, merchandising standards, process improvements).
  • Continuously look for ways to simplify reporting, streamline trade processes and enhance the quality of in‑market execution.
  • Job Specifications / Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Management or a related field.
  • 2‑5 years experience in Trade Marketing, Channel Marketing, Shopper Marketing or a related commercial role in FMCG; pet food or pet care experience is an advantage.
  • Exposure to multi‑country or regional roles (preferably SEA; experience or familiarity with NZ / AU / US markets is a plus).
  • Good understanding of trade channels : modern trade, general trade, pet specialty / vet channel and e‑commerce.
  • Strong numerical and analytical skills; comfortable working with Excel / Sheets and sales data (off‑take, share, distribution, promo uplift).
  • Experience working with distributors and / or key accounts is strongly preferred.

  • Behavioural Competencies

  • Results‑Oriented & Proactive – driven to deliver commercial impact and take initiative without waiting to be told.
  • Collaboration & Stakeholder Management – builds good working relationships with sales, distributors and external partners.
