We are seeking a Perfect Store Manager to join the DX Category Leadership team.

- Supports the ‘Store of the Future’ thinking & owns the external ‘Category Growth Story’ (a translation of PepsiCo’s internal brand strategies).
- Uses data-driven insights to recommend the optimal portfolio & channel assortment (addressing the priority opportunities, challenges & innovation ‘white spaces’).
- Outlines the levers & drivers for growth (both short & long-term), as well as the role of PepsiCo’s brands to deliver a ‘triple win’ (shopper, customer & supplier).
- Builds & embeds the sub-channel ‘Pictures of Success’ within the Commercial organisation (e.g. must-stock range, merchandising principles). Sets the annual execution targets.
- Attends the PMR forum as the category SME & provides an objective perspective to feed the Commercialisation & IBP processes.
- Socialises the category strategy (including the associated products & outputs) across a broad set of stakeholders to influence the annual & strategic plans.
