• Coordinate promotions and trade marketing activities with retail and foodservice customers;

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for someone who is commercial, creative, organized, and proactive.

You enjoy working on different projects at the same time and are comfortable combining marketing with data, coordination, and commercial execution.

Ideally, you have:

• HBO-level education, preferably in Marketing, Commercial Economics, International Business, or a related field;
• Preferably 1–3 years of experience in Trade Marketing, Brand Marketing, FMCG, Sales Support, Commercial Operations, or a similar role;
• Strong organizational and project management skills;
• A commercial mindset and interest in FMCG, retail, and food;
• Confidence working with data and numbers;
• Good Excel and PowerPoint skills;
• A proactive and hands-on attitude;
• Strong communication skills;

• Experience with retail, foodservice, ERP, CRM, or FMCG is a plus.

What Do We Offer?

• €2,800 – €3,500 gross per month, depending on experience;
• Full-time contract, 40 hours per week;
• 25 vacation days;
• Travel allowance;
• A lot of independence and responsibility;
• A young and international team;
• Informal working environment with short communication lines;
• Monthly company dinners;
• Regular team activities and social events;
• Direct involvement with major European retail and foodservice customers;
• The opportunity to work on real product launches, promotions, and brand campaigns;
• Direct impact on our international growth;
• Plenty of room to develop within Trade Marketing, Brand Marketing, or Commercial roles;
• A dynamic and fast-growing scale-up environment.

Why EastEco?

At EastEco, you will not be one small part of a large marketing department.

You will be directly involved in the brands, customers, launches, and promotions you work on — and you will see your work come to life in stores and markets across Europe.

We are ambitious, move quickly, and give people responsibility early.

At the same time, we want EastEco to be a place where people enjoy coming to work, have fun with their colleagues, and build something together.

If you enjoy combining brand, trade marketing, commercial thinking, and hands-on execution, we would love to meet you.
