- Conduct market research, competitor analysis, and pricing strategy development.
- Negotiate commercial agreements, trading terms, pricing structures, and supplier contracts.
- Monitor market trends, consumer demand, and emerging business opportunities.
- Develop business plans, revenue forecasts, and growth strategies.
- Lead and develop commercial and trading teams to achieve business objectives.
- Report business performance, opportunities, and strategic initiatives to senior management.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, International Trade, or a related field.
- Minimum 8–12 years of experience in Consumer Goods Trading, FMCG Distribution, Import & Export, Wholesale, or Commercial Management.
- Proven track record of establishing, growing, or managing a successful trading business or product portfolio.
- Strong experience in agency development, distributorship management, and supplier negotiations.

- Strong network with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, wholesalers, and trading partners.
- Experience in international sourcing, import/export regulations, and commercial trading activities.
- Strong commercial, financial, analytical, and negotiation skills.
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a proven ability to build and scale businesses.
