- Direct Retailer Engagement: Lead key account negotiations with high-volume retail chemists, pharmacy chains, and key decision-makers to secure prominent shelf placement and drive stocking.
- Model Execution: Implement and refine the Direct-to-Retailer operational workflow, including direct ordering, stock replenishment, payment collection, and scheme/margin communication.
- Pipeline & Inventory Management: Monitor retailer order frequency, stock turns,



and credit cycles to maintain healthy cash flow and minimize stock-outs.
- Market Intelligence: Gather ongoing feedback on competitor pricing, trade schemes, private label trends, and retailer needs to optimize our product positioning.

- Leadership: Demonstrated ability to motivate, manage, and hold a field sales team accountable to daily metrics (calls per day, conversion rates, average order value).
- Analytical Skills: Proficiency in CRM tools, route planning software, and basic Excel/data analysis to track team output and territory health.
