You’ll be the strategic partner and operational lead, driving excellence in campaign execution while translating complex data into actionable insight. A key component of this role is senior stakeholder management, requiring polished communication skills, business acumen, and strong Excel capabilities to extract, interpret and narrate data-driven stories.

• Facilitate regular strategic reviews and business updates, aligning ADM’s services with evolving brand goals.

Campaign & Project Management

• Lead the planning and execution of complex POSM, merchandising, and ATL/BTL campaigns across global and regional markets.
• Work cross-functionally with production, design, logistics, and procurement teams to ensure timely and budget-compliant delivery.
• Implement and refine operational processes to ensure consistent quality, cost control, and speed to market.
• Leverage advanced Excel and analytical tools to manage campaign data, tracking KPIs, spend, performance, and engagement.
• Identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities, transforming data into actionable insights and strategic recommendations.
• Present clear, concise reporting and performance dashboards to internal and external stakeholders.

Strategic & Commercial Acumen

• Support business development through deep understanding of the client’s category, competitive landscape, and consumer behaviour.
• Contribute to client growth strategies and cost-saving initiatives.
• Support contract renewals, scope expansions, and new project briefs with commercially sound proposals.

Key Skills & Experience

• 7+ years' experience in client services/account management, preferably within marketing services, FMCG, or alcohol/beverage sectors.
• Proven track record in POSM/POS/merchandising campaign delivery, with exposure to ATL and BTL channels.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills – credible, composed, and confident when dealing with senior client teams.
• Highly proficient in Microsoft Excel – able to analyse, visualise, and present complex datasets clearly.
• Strong business acumen, with an ability to spot trends, uncover insights, and develop strategic recommendations.
• Experience working with global brands and multi-market campaign execution.
• Understanding of supply chain processes and procurement methodologies is advantageous.
