In this role, you will:

• Lead the coordination and rollout of global shopper marketing initiatives, ensuring alignment with brand strategies and adaptation for key market requirements.
• Collaborate closely with Brand and Market Shopper Teams to develop and implement shopper campaigns across physical retail, e‑commerce, and Global Travel Retail (GTR).
• Manage the full lifecycle of shopper toolkits—from briefing and creative development to stakeholder alignment, rollout, and performance tracking.
• Ensure consistent deployment of best practices across markets by actively contributing to the Global Shopper Marketing Expert Community.
• Monitor campaign performance and shopper data to support continuous optimization and ensure shopper relevance and effectiveness.
• Support the implementation of the Shopper Optimization Framework, applying established tools and methodologies across programs.
• Balance global consistency with local flexibility by coordinating with markets to adapt retail messaging, design, and toolkits.
• Drive collaboration with internal and external partners, including agencies, to ensure high‑quality asset delivery and flawless execution.

Your blend of talent: You’re a proactive, detail‑oriented, and collaborative marketer with a global mindset and a passion for creating meaningful shopper experiences. You’re both strategic and executional—able to translate big‑picture brand goals into impactful in‑market activations. You may also bring:

• Relevant experience in shopper marketing, trade marketing, or brand activation, ideally within FMCG or spirits.
• A track record of contributing to multi‑market toolkit and asset rollouts across diverse retail environments.
• Strong project management skills, including experience coordinating creative development, timelines, approvals, and multiple stakeholders.
• A solid understanding of TTL/BTL marketing tactics and how to apply them through shopper‑centric executions.
• Experience working within matrixed, international organisations, with the ability to collaborate across diverse markets and cultures.
• Strong communication, coordination, and stakeholder management skills.
• Proficiency in English (written and spoken); additional languages are a plus.
