Commercial Excellence Manager
COMMERCIAL EXCELLENCE MANAGER – PRESTIGE FRAGRANCE & COSMETICS
UK&I | Wimbledon
Hybrid working | Full‑time | Permanent
This role doesn’t support the commercial agenda.
It runs it.
Commercial Excellence is where brand vision becomes in‑market reality — where strategy turns into sell‑out, and decisions across product, price, promotion and place shape growth. As Commercial Excellence Manager – Prestige, you own that space end‑to‑end: the commercial strategy, the execution, the financials — and the results.
THE ROLE
OPTIMIZE, ENABLE, INNOVATE!
As our Commercial Excellence Manager within Coty Prestige UK&I, you are the day‑to‑day commercial owner for key prestige brands — with a core focus on Marc Jacobs Beauty (fragrance + make‑up) and future portfolio expansion including Swarovski.
You sit at the intersection of Sales, Marketing, Demand and Global, turning brand intent into executable, data‑led Go‑To‑Market plans. This is a high‑autonomy role where pace, judgement, and influence matter.
You will manage:
Own the commercial & GTM strategy
Define and land a clear commercial and brand strategy aligned to UK&I priorities and global direction Build and execute robust Go‑To‑Market plans across fragrance and make‑up Translate business objectives into precise 4P decisions that drive growth while protecting brand equity Act as the single commercial owner for your brand remit within the Prestige organisation
Lead the 4Ps with financial ownership
