Retail Partner Acquisition — Identify, approach, and onboard new retail partners across Modern Trade (OH!Some, MSBB, Waytoglow) and General Trade (independent stores, traditional distributors). Prepare partnership proposals, negotiate initial terms (DP/Consign/MT/GT), and coordinate smooth onboarding with the Ops team.
Active Account Management — Serve as the single point of contact for all active retail partners — managing day-to-day relationships: product availability, delivery coordination, payment follow-up, and issue resolution. Keep every account healthy and every partner feeling supported.
Account Growth & Expansion — Identify and pursue growth opportunities within each active account — SKU listing expansion, additional shelf space, or entry into new branches within the same partner network. Build deep understanding of each buyer's business targets and turn that into relevant, well-timed growth proposals.
Sell-Through Monitoring & Restock — Track sell-through performance per account regularly. Proactively flag slow-moving risks and propose corrective actions (re-promotion, bundling, reorder). Coordinate with Inventory to ensure restocking happens before stockouts occur.
Performance Reporting & Analysis — Prepare weekly and monthly account performance reports: sell-out data, revenue contribution per account, and new partner pipeline. Deliver actionable insights to the Retail & Brand Activation Lead to support strategic decisions.
Terms Negotiation & Contract Administration — Support negotiation of business terms with retail partners: margin, listing fees, consignment vs. direct purchase, and partnership duration. Maintain clean deal documentation and loop in HR/Legal when formal contracts are required.
Cross-Team Coordination — Work closely with Ops (fulfilment & delivery), Inventory (stock & planning), Brand (in-store materials), and Finance (invoicing & settlement) to ensure end-to-end smooth retail execution — from order to shelf.
