Job Description

Account management (Sephora, FSS and other retail partners)

• Own the day-to-day relationship with Sephora, FSS and other Indonesian retail partners, from store level up to buyers and category managers.
• Agree annual and quarterly sell-out targets per account and door, and drive delivery against them.
• Negotiate and secure in-store visibility: counter space, gondola ends, window and promotional placements, and inclusion in retailer events and catalogues.
• Plan and run joint business reviews with each account, covering performance, upcoming launches, promotions and stock.
• Work with Supply Chain and the accounts to keep stock levels healthy, flag stock-outs early and manage slow-moving inventory.
• Make sure retailer promotions, pricing and mechanics are executed correctly in every door.

In-store experience and brand standards

• Deliver a best-in-class, consistent brand experience in every Indonesia door, in line with SEA and global standards.
• Conduct regular store visits to audit visual merchandising compliance, tester hygiene, counter cleanliness, product availability and service quality.
• Execute launches, campaigns, events and animations in store on time and to brand standard.
• Lead over-the-counter events such as masterclasses and makeovers, and support offsite trade events and pop-ups.
• Gather customer and staff feedback from the floor and share actionable insights with the Retail Manager SEA and HQ.

Retail reporting and analysis

• Produce weekly and monthly retail reports by account and door: sell-out versus target, year-on-year growth, units per transaction, average transaction value, conversion and BA productivity.
• Track the performance and return on every event, promotion, TOA and GWP activation.
• Analyse trends by door, category and hero product, and recommend actions to close gaps.
• Present monthly performance reviews and forecasts to the Retail Manager SEA and the local leadership team.

TOAs and GWPs

• Plan the annual and seasonal calendar of TOAs (tokens of appreciation) and GWPs (gifts with purchase) to support launches, key retail moments and loyalty.
• Forecast quantities by account and door, place orders in time, and allocate stock based on traffic and sales potential.
• Set clear redemption mechanics and thresholds, and brief the retail team so every gift is used correctly.
• Track redemption, stock movement and leftover inventory, and reconcile against budget after each activation.

Incentive and commission plans

• Design, cost and run incentive and commission plans for Beauty Advisors and Counter Managers, aligned with commercial targets and budget.
• Set clear, motivating and fair targets at individual and counter level, and communicate the scheme so every team member understands how to earn.
• Calculate and verify monthly payouts accurately and on time, working with HR and Finance.
• Run short-term contests and spiffs around launches and key retail moments.
• Review the plans each quarter and adjust based on results and team feedback.

Team leadership, morale and engagement

• Lead and manage the full-time and part-time retail team across all Indonesia doors.
• Recruit, onboard and retain high-calibre Beauty Advisors and Counter Managers, working with HR.
• Plan and optimise rosters to cover traffic peaks, events and launches while controlling labour cost.
• Keep team morale high through regular check-ins, recognition, team gatherings and a clear career path.
• Run monthly one-to-ones and twice-yearly performance reviews, and manage underperformance promptly and fairly.
• Monitor attrition and engagement, and act on what the team says.

Training and selling techniques

• Make sure every team member is trained in the brand's selling ceremony, product knowledge and artistry techniques.
• Coach on the floor: observe consultations, give real-time feedback, and role-play selling, upselling and cross-selling.
• Partner with the Education team to deliver launch training, masterclasses and refresher sessions.
• Track training completion and link skills development to sales results and mystery shopper scores.

Operations and cross-functional work

• Manage distribution of samples, testers and point-of-sale materials to doors on time.
• Keep local processes aligned with SEA standards for consistency and efficiency.
• Partner with Marketing, Visual Merchandising, Education, Supply Chain, Finance and HR for seamless execution.
• Manage the Indonesia retail budget for events, TOAs, GWPs, incentives and headcount.
