Visibility and Market Activation
Ensure effective product visibility, merchandising and POSM deployment.
Execute sampling activities, retailer engagement initiatives and local market activations.

Ensure all activities and transactions are recorded correctly in the designated sales systems.
Review territory performance using outlet, distributor and salesperson-level data.
Submit timely reports on sales, collections, stock, coverage, visibility and competition.
Maintain data accuracy and immediately escalate inconsistencies or execution issues.
Candidate Profile
Graduate with approximately 2–5 years of field-sales experience.
Experience in FMCG, foods, snacks, beverages or General Trade is strongly preferred.
Demonstrated ability to build territories, develop outlets and manage distributors.
Strong understanding of beats, secondary sales, retailer conversion and repeat offtake.
Comfortable working extensively in the market and managing execution at outlet level.
Able to analyse sales data and convert insights into field actions.
Strong communication, negotiation and relationship-management capabilities.
High ownership, discipline and bias for execution.
