Publication Management: Oversee the curation, pricing, and supplier funding for physical and digital category brochures, menus, and stand-alone promotions.
Digital & Socials Integration: Partner with Libra Drinks digital marketing creator to help produce high-performing online assets, content and social media campaigns.

Commercial Pricing & Financial Governance

Margin Architecture: Implement disciplined pricing frameworks that protect and enhance gross profit margins while maintaining market competitiveness.
Benchmarking: Lead ongoing competitor benchmarking exercises across pricing, promotional mechanics, and range depth to safeguard market share.
P&L Accountability: Monitor category financial performance against volume, revenue, and gross profit targets, implementing corrective actions where necessary.
