•    Bring strong e-commerce and retail media expertise, understanding their role as critical sales and consumer engagement channels and ensuring they are fully integrated into the commercial and marketing strategy.
•    Translate global strategies into locally relevant plans, using consumer insights, market intelligence and data analytics to identify growth opportunities and build competitive advantage.
•    Work closely with Sales to represent the business with distributors, retailers and other key customers, jointly developing and executing commercial and customer plans.
•    Lead and optimise significant marketing budgets, ensuring disciplined investment decisions and clear linkage between spend and business outcomes.
•    Stay close to the business and execution — combining strategic leadership with a hands-on approach when required, particularly in the Polish market.
•    Lead, coach and develop senior Marketing Managers and leaders across multiple countries, often remotely, creating clarity, accountability and high performance across a diverse organisation.
•    Build capability and engagement in a flat organisational structure, developing people through coaching, influence and broader opportunities.
•    Build and maintain an effective operating model between Marketing, Sales, E-Commerce, Finance, Supply Chain and other internal teams, as well as external agencies.
•    Navigate ambiguity, change and evolving business priorities, while building the organisation's capabilities and maintaining momentum.
•    Partner with local and global executive stakeholders, ensuring alignment, transparency and visibility on business performance and priorities

•    Strong leadership presence and the ability to lead through influence, expertise and credibility, particularly within flat organisational structures.
•    Demonstrated ability to develop people and build organisational capability, particularly in environments undergoing change or transformation.
•    Comfortable operating in ambiguity, complexity and continuous change, with a pragmatic, solution-oriented and high-ownership mindset.
