• Customer growth across Get, Grow, Keep
• Develop plans that support awareness, consideration, trial, new customer acquisition and purchase.
• Identify opportunities to grow customer frequency, attachment, spend, product mix and category participation.
• Ensure the calendar includes activity to retain active customers, reduce lapse and reactivate customers who have become less engaged.
• Commercial and cross-functional leadership
• Work closely with Commercial, Food & Beverage Development, Operations, Brand and channel owners to prioritise the highest-value opportunities.
• Set clear objectives, priorities and performance expectations for channel owners, ensuring teams contribute to shared growth priorities rather than isolated channel plans.
