About the Role

Your mission

International Go-To-Market Strategy

• Adapt the group's “Where to Play” trade-channel priorities and growth ambition for the UK, Benelux, Italy, Switzerland and Austria, in partnership with the global Brand Commercial team in Germany.
• Localize the “How to Win” commercial strategy for each market: clear priorities, KPIs and customer-focused plans that reflect local retailer landscapes and competitive dynamics.

Commercial Fundamentals Across Markets

• Assortment: define channel- and market-specific assortment (size, price and pack-format differentiation), hero SKUs and ranging recommendations for each priority retailer and Amazon; set and track distribution KPIs.
• Place: partner with category management to define “perfect store” standards (shelf execution, secondary display, POS and claims) suited to local retail formats; set and track shelf and display KPIs.
• Promotion: define local promotional guidelines (discount depth, frequency, mechanics) and in-store/online activation plans; track promotional ROI.
• Price: define local omnichannel pricing and pack-size strategy, balanced against consumer value, competition, customer profitability and company margin; set and track pricing and margin KPIs.
• People: enable local KAMs and field sales teams to execute with excellence, ensuring sell-in tools and brand/category training are delivered on time and in full.

Innovation & Sell-In

• Localize the group's innovation masterplan and KAM/field-sales sell-in toolkits (prioritization, concept sell, execution visuals, store leave-behinds) for International retailers and Amazon.

Stakeholder & Operational Leadership

• Act as the key point of contact between International country execution and KAM teams and the central/global commercial strategy function on day-to-day business and strategic planning.
• Own commercial KPI and ROI tracking and reporting for International markets, and represent International in relevant global commercial review cadences.
• Be the “voice” of International markets, feeding local retailer and consumer insight back into global brand and commercial planning.

Your experience & skills

• 6–8 years of commercial strategy, trade marketing, category management or key account management within FMCG, CPG, sports/active nutrition or wellness.
• Direct experience with major retailers in the UK and/or Benelux and possibly already a multi-market or regional experience. 
• Comfort working cross-functionally and cross-culturally with a German HQ team; German language skills are a plus but not required.
• Strong analytical skills, with experience owning commercially relevant KPIs and turning data into action, combined with a hands-on, pragmatic mindset. 
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence across markets and functions without direct authority.
• Based in the UK or the Netherlands, with willingness to travel regularly to Hamburg and across the International market cluster.
