Who We Are…and What We DoWith an annual turnover of around €2bn, Lipton Teas and Infusions is the world’s largest tea business, with world-class, purpose-driven brands such as Lipton, Pukka, Tazo, T2 and PG Tips. ‘As Lipton we are truly united in one purpose: growing a world of wellbeing through the regenerative power of plants. In July 2022, CVC Capital Partners Fund VIII took over the full ownership of the Lipton business from its previous owner, Unilever. As a standalone entity with a dedicated single-category focus, Lipton is even better positioned to lead the tea industry, delivering higher growth and value, and a greater impact on the wider world. With 11 production factories in four continents and tea growing estates in three countries, Lipton is a profitable and growing business whose brands reach hundreds of millions of consumers. It has a presence in over 100 countries. Under the ownership of CVC, Lipton has an exciting future ahead with opportunities for increased investments in our iconic brands, our people, and our capabilities. Combining the strength and scale of our brands with a focus on speed and agility, Lipton is brewing a corporate start-up mindset that’s opening-up new opportunities for its people to flourish every day. At Lipton, we put consumer love at the heart of every decision. We celebrate diverse thinkers who take personal ownership to connect ideas and make impactful things happen; people who share our values around humanity and courage and give their commitment to nurturing the wellbeing of all. In return, we offer a working culture that gives our people freedom and flexibility, and where they can grow both personally and professionally to master their field. Be part of our amazing blend. Come and grow yourself and, in turn, help us to grow a world of wellbeing.Key ResponsibilitiesThe Shopper & Customer Marketing Specialist is responsible for the following:Following day-to-day operations across Customers & Channels, specifically Modern tradeBudget planning and tracking for channels and customers in MTEnsuring channel and sub-channel profitabilityCreating monthly promotions tailored to each channel and campaign levelPreparing, monitoring, and analyzing market activationPlanning monthly visits to distributors and markets across all regions, with a balance of 50% market visits and 50% office workEnsuring that all activities and promotions sent to the sales team at the beginning of the month are active and functioning properly across the targeted channelsMonitoring competitors' market prices and trade prices compared to our own prices across all sales channels and categoriesBeing present on ground during campaigns to monitor and observe campaign performance against the desired criteriaTracking sales channels' performance in relation to activities and promotionsTaking responsibility for SKUs and channel forecastsOverseeing all trade plans for launches and re-launchesAssisting the channel lead in implementing annual plans across channels through the Integrated Business Planning (IBP) processSkills & Experience:The Shopper & Customer Marketing Specialist role should possess the following skills and experience:At least 2 years of experience, preferably in Trade Marketing or MT (Modern Trade), in the FMCG industryAn entrepreneurial growth mindsetStrong communication and ability to build strong relationships at all levelsDemonstrate organization skills, tasks prioritization & multi-taskingProficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
