  • Coordinate with KAMs and regional teams to ensure POS is matched to the outlet opportunity, available when needed and installed or used as intended.
  • Help communicate plans, standards and practical guidance to sales and field teams, and capture feedback from customers and users after rollout.

Insights, Budget & Continuous Improvement

  • Track POS requests, production, budgets, stock, deployment and execution status using agreed tools and reporting processes.
  • Use available sales, distribution, outlet and execution information to assess reach, usage and effectiveness; highlight gaps and recommend improvements.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce waste, improve regional coverage and make investment more measurable.
  • Share clear project updates and insights with stakeholders, escalating risks early and following actions through to completion.
  • Build a well-managed national POS portfolio that gives field teams practical, brand-right tools for priority channels and customers.
  • Improve the quality, cost efficiency and regional availability of POS through clear briefs, supplier coordination and informed production choices.
  • Strengthen digital asset access and adoption by keeping approved content current, searchable and easy to use.
