  • 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.

  • 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.
