Trade Marketing Specialist - (Saudi National)

We are looking for an execution-driven, highly aggressive Trade Marketing Specialist to oversee day-to-day commercial activities across distributor, trade, and internal teams. This role is ideal for a hands-on operator who thrives in fast-paced FMCG environments, possesses a relentless follow-up mindset, and takes full ownership of in-market execution.

You will play a critical role in ensuring maximum product visibility, cold-stock availability, and commercial performance across Modern Trade (MT), Traditional Trade (TT), and E-commerce channels.

Key Responsibilities

• Trade Marketing & POSM Execution: Manage Point of Sale Materials (POSM) end-to-end, from briefing suppliers to production and field deployment. Ensure dominant in-store visibility (fridges, shelves, and correct pricing).
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Coordinate seamlessly between sales, marketing, operations, and external agencies. Manage activity timelines tightly and ensure all moving parts are perfectly aligned.
• Product Launch Execution: Support new product and flavor launches across MT, TT, and E-com. Ensure total launch readiness across listings, stock allocation, and marketing assets before go-live.
• Execution & Follow-through: Own tasks end-to-end. Drive daily follow-ups, close operational loops, and ensure commercial delivery without delays.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in the FMCG sector (sales, key accounts, or commercial operations), working either on the brand side or distributor side.

• Execution-focused and hands-on operator with a "get-things-done" mindset.
• Highly market-driven and field-active: Willing to spend significant time in the market checking execution, visiting stores, and keeping both distributor and internal teams in check.
• Strong ownership mindset with relentless follow-up and problem-solving skills.
• Solid communication skills and proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• Based in Riyadh with a valid driver's license and access to a car for daily field visits.
• Fluent in English and Arabic (written and spoken) is a must.
