  • Own the marketing plan cycle for the territory — annual, mid-term, and long-term — and see plans through to execution.
  • Contribute to product and business development within the assigned market: supporting new launches, refining existing products (concept, packaging, design), and identifying cost efficiencies.
  • Maintain close, productive relationships with distributors, working to grow distribution and lift performance against company sales and profit goals.
  • Visit customers and assess on-the-ground market conditions as needed to keep export sales targets on track.

  • Deepen consumer understanding of the product through promotional materials and outreach activities.
