  • Support e-commerce and omnichannel activations (e.g., campaign pages, banners, vouchers, bundles) in collaboration with digital and e-commerce teams.
  • Manage POSM inventory, allocations, and distribution to markets; ensure proper usage, compliance with brand guidelines, and timely replenishment.
  • Assist in planning and executing pet events, trade shows, and customer activations to drive trial and brand visibility.
Performance Tracking, Analysis & Reporting:
  • Track performance of trade promotions and channel programs (sell-in, sell-out, off-take, distribution, visibility KPIs).
  • Consolidate data from distributors, retailers, and internal systems into regular reports and dashboards for Sales and Marketing.
  • Identify gaps and opportunities by channel, account, and market, and propose corrective actions or test-and-learn initiatives.
  • Monitor competitor activities (pricing, promotion, visibility, NPD) and share structured insights with stakeholders.
Stakeholder & Partner Collaboration:
  • Collaborate closely with Sales, Key Account Management, Brand Marketing, E-commerce, and Supply Chain to ensure aligned execution.
  • Work with distributors and key retail partners to secure visibility, implement agreed programs, and resolve on-ground issues.
  • Support training for distributor and field sales teams on brand fundamentals, product knowledge, and key trade programs.
  • Maintain clear documentation and communication of plans, timelines, and expectations to all stakeholders.
Ad Hoc Projects & Continuous Improvement:
  • Participate in cross-functional projects (e.g., new market launches, channel pilots, merchandising standards, process improvements).
  • Continuously look for ways to simplify reporting, streamline trade processes, and enhance the quality of in-market execution.

Job Specifications/Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Management, or related field.
  • 2–5 years' experience in Trade Marketing, Channel Marketing, Shopper Marketing, or related commercial role in FMCG; pet food or pet care experience is an advantage.

  • Good understanding of trade channels: modern trade, general trade, pet specialty/vet channel, and e-commerce.
  • Strong numerical and analytical skills; comfortable working with Excel/Sheets and sales data (off-take, share, distribution, promo uplift).
  • Experience working with distributors and/or key accounts is strongly preferred.
  • Proficient in English (spoken and written); Bahasa Malaysia or other regional languages are an advantage.
  • Willing to work with different time zones and occasionally travel to markets as required.
