Customer Planning & Activation Manager

GTR is the shop window to the world! Showcasing our iconic and award-winning luxury spirits portfolio in international airport stores and cruise ships. 

The future is extremely bright for our premium and luxury spirits portfolio within the travel retail channel. Our Customer Planning & Activation Managers create and deliver world class marketing activations and retail experiences across key travel retail outlets, in a crossroads of cultures where our brands are brought to life.

Key responsibilities

Working with key customers, internal stakeholders and creative agencies, you will develop and deliver the marketing plans, driving quality brand executions across travel retail outlets that excite the customer and connect travellers to the spirits brands they love.

About you

With experience in customer or trade marketing, you’ll be an expert in delivering quality brand executions in stores at the point of purchase. The ideal candidate will have spirits industry and travel retail experience, or alternatively could have marketing experience with other brands in similar sectors such as FMCG. 

You’ll have a willingness to travel, experience working with key accounts and can adapt your communication style. A good understanding of working with creative agencies for marketing toolkit adaptations and activation executions is a must. As a Global business unit touching all four corners of the world, you’ll have a strong cultural awareness and the ability to speak more than one language is a benefit but not essential.
