  • Oversee regional retail marketing allocations, optimizing tool production and campaign execution in close partnership with Production, VM, and Global counterparts.
  • Support, mentor, and foster a high-performing, inclusive team, establishing clear roadmaps and scalable ways of working.

Requirements
