- Monitor in-location compliance for merchandising standards through field visits, distributor reporting, and other relevant audits.
- Evaluate POP program effectiveness via sell-thru lift analysis and continuously optimize the materials mix.
Sell-Thru Performance Management
- Own the channel sell-thru KPI; monitor weekly and monthly performance against plan and initiate corrective actions as needed.
- Analyze shipment, depletions, and point-of-sale data to identify inventory imbalances, velocity issues, and promotional effectiveness.
- Collaborate with Demand Planning and Supply Chain to align shipment phasing with anticipated channel sell-thru velocity.
- Prepare and present regular channel performance reports, highlighting risks, opportunities, and recommended actions.
Distributor & Field Sales Enablement
- Educate distributor sales teams and direct account sales reps on assortment optimization, POP placement standards, and other merchandising best practices.
- Develop sales tools, channel sell sheets, and objection-handling guides to support field execution.
- Ride with distributor reps and conduct account blitzes to model best practices and maintain direct market intelligence.
- Set and track distributor performance metrics through structured KPI reviews.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Trade Marketing and Brand teams to ensure channel programs are aligned with brand standards and campaign calendars.
- Provide the voice of the channel to Product Management/Development, sharing consumer insights, competitive intelligence, and unmet needs.
- Coordinate with Finance and Trade Marketing on trade spend accruals, deductions management, and ROI analysis for promotional investments.
- Work with Customer Service and Logistics to resolve service issues that could impair sell-thru velocity.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Sales, or a related field required.
- 7–10 years of progressive sales, product management, or channel management experience within a CPG manufacturer, distributor, or broker organization.
