- Monitor and optimise performance through weekly trading reviews with key stakeholders.
- Lead trading calendars, promotions, and exclusive marketplace activations to drive sell-through and visibility.
- Collaborate with marketing on campaign alignment, paid marketplace media, and brand shop optimisation.
