• You develop creative marketing measures for our retail partners — from secondary placements and POS materials to retail media and influencer activations that measurably increase sales.
• You identify market potential, develop new product concepts together with our product team, and support launches from the initial idea through implementation — including coordination with internal teams and external partners.
• You prepare product and promotion calculations, evaluate trade margins, terms and contribution margins, and ensure the commercial viability of our measures.
• You analyze sell-out data, product rotations and campaign results, derive concrete recommendations for action, and identify new growth opportunities.
• You support our B2B team in preparing annual meetings and innovation presentations and develop compelling sell-in stories for our retail partners.
• You regularly work at the point of sale yourself, analyze competitors and our shelf presence, and use your findings to develop new ideas for our retail presence.

• You have 2–5 years of experience in trade marketing, category management, product management or retail-focused brand marketing — ideally in FMCG, drugstores, food retail or a DTC company with a retail presence. At least 2 of those years have involved working directly with retailers.
• You understand the commercial side of retail, have already contributed to listings or sell-in processes, and are confident handling trade margins, terms and product calculations.
• You are analytically strong, work confidently with Excel, and can independently evaluate and interpret sell-out data and derive concrete measures from it.
• You have experience supporting products or marketing activations from the initial idea through implementation, and successfully bring different stakeholders together.
• You combine creative thinking with a strong hands-on mindset, work independently and in a structured way, and keep track of several parallel projects. You are enthusiastic about health, supplements and performance.
