• Schedule, brief and monitor promoters, tracking attendance and sales and coordinating any coverage gaps.
• Coordinate in-store promotions, roadshows and activations with the Events & Offline team and the relevant stores.
• Track sell-out by store, identify performance gaps and propose practical actions to improve results.
• Work with the distribution team to align stock with planned activities and reduce out-of-stock situations.
• Prepare weekly reports on store performance, promotions, execution issues and competitor activity.
• Build dependable relationships with store staff, pharmacists and store managers, keeping communication clear and commitments current.
• Use approved claims and artwork for in-store materials, checking that applicable approval and registration details are included before deployment.
