1. Revenue & P&L; Ownership
- Own overall sales revenue and channel-wise P&L; targets.
- Drive growth through new account acquisition, distribution expansion, key account development, and institutional contracts.
- Set and track channel-wise budgets, achieve volume/value targets, and optimise trade spend for profitable growth.

Modern trade chains and regional retail groups
Hotel groups, restaurant chains, and catering companies

1. Sales Team Leadership

- Define territory plans, org structure, incentive frameworks, and individual/team sales targets.
- Monitor sales productivity,
account coverage, and channel-wise performance; coach and develop the team.
1. Pricing & Commercial Strategy
- Design channel-wise pricing structures, trade terms, institutional contracts, and margin frameworks.
- Evaluate account and channel profitability; optimise trade spend and discounting.
1. Market Intelligence & New Opportunities
- Track market trends, competitor activity, pricing, and evolving customer/consumer preferences across channels.
- Provide channel and market insights to guide new product development and identify new distribution/channel opportunities.
