• Partner with Sales to turn brand and channel plans into executable retail programs.

• Be the point of contact between Brand and Sales, so sales teams have what they need to take programs to retail partners.
• Support retailer-specific programs from brief through launch, keeping assets and approvals aligned to dates.
• Track launch readiness across key accounts and catch gaps before issues arise.
• Make sure retail assets are accurate and properly formatted for digital and physical touchpoints.
• Build timelines backwards from in-market date and break projects into tasks.
• Capture action items from every call and see them through to close.
