With millions of passengers travelling through airports, ports, and border shops each year, Global Travel Retail serves as our shop window to the world — a showcase for our craftsmanship, innovation, and premium portfolio.
The Regional Executive role provides a great opportunity to drive change within this fast-paced and exciting environment. It is an opportunity to develop a career that combines strategic commercial management, world-class brand building, and cross-functional collaboration. Here, marketing activations, retail transformation principles, and commercial excellence converge to deliver exceptional brand experiences and tangible business results.
Working closely with GMR, Ospree Duty Free and other key partners, you will play a pivotal role in steering the commercial agenda and driving sustainable growth across the GTR channel. You will manage and support the central customer relationship, take ownership of your own region and ensure that customer strategies align with WG&S objectives while monitoring account performance and overseeing pricing, promotional activity, and compliance.
In this role, you will also contribute to commercial planning and analysis, developing data-driven insights that identify growth opportunities and optimise performance across the region. You will manage your own forecasting, budgeting, and performance tracking processes, while analysing sales trends, promotional return on investment, and market share to guide strategic decision-making.
Collaboration is central to success. You will act as a bridge between functions, ensuring seamless execution of global strategies at a regional level. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will be responsible for authoring and delivering high-stakes presentations to both internal leadership and external partners. You will provide persuasive, insight-led performance updates and strategic recommendations that directly influence the trajectory of the region.
You are a seasoned, commercially minded professional with a strong analytical background and a passion for building brands in a global environment. You bring both strategic insight and operational precision, and you thrive in fast-paced, multicultural settings.
You possess strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, combined with excellent attention to detail and the capability to build compelling, insight-led proposals that deliver commercial advantage.
Exceptional communication and presentation skills are essential, as is the ability to influence and engage with stakeholders at all levels. You will demonstrate a collaborative mindset, working effectively across teams and functions, and be comfortable managing multiple priorities in a complex, global environment. A high degree of cultural awareness and adaptability will enable you to operate successfully across diverse international settings.
You should be willing to travel as required across the region and bring a genuine enthusiasm for the spirits industry and for developing a long-term career within Global Travel Retail.
