  • Lead the integration of digital solutions and data-driven insights into trade marketing activity
  • Report on trade activation performance, providing insights and recommendations to optimise growth
  • Act as the key contact for on- and off-premise partners, ensuring best-in-class execution

About You

  • Solid understanding of the on- and off-premise landscape, consumer behaviour, and customer engagement
  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to analyse data and translate insights into action
  • Hands-on, proactive mindset – able to build structure, resources, and processes in an evolving environment
  • Excellent stakeholder management and project leadership skills, with the confidence to work cross-functionally
  • Relevant tertiary qualifications in marketing or a related field, and a current Australian driver's license
