A day in a live of a Strategic Commercial Manager (m/f/d):

• Strategy Development : In this newly created position, you can apply your strategic skills to develop and expand the Discounter channel strategy, ensuring that we stay one step ahead in international markets.
• Project Management : You will lead European business development projects for Discounters, connect categories and markets, and bring new approaches quickly into execution.
• Networking & Training : You will build channel expertise across other Nestlé markets, design hands‑on training sessions, and establish active knowledge transfer related to the Discount Channel. To achieve this, you will work closely with the Commercial Development teams.
• Meeting Management : You will take responsibility for creating and designing presentations that optimally position the channel.
• Variety Retail : As a Commercial Manager (m/f/d), you will oversee the subchannel, develop cross‑country growth plans, and drive their international implementation.

What will make you successful:

• Experience : After completing your studies (e.g., Business Administration), you have already gained several years of experience in Sales, Commercial Development, or a similar function—ideally within the FMCG environment.
• Intercultural Competence : Working with different countries enriches you, and ideally you already bring relevant experience. You have business‑fluent English skills; German and/or additional languages are a plus.
• Working Style : You work in a goal‑oriented and highly analytical manner, act independently, tackle topics proactively, and impress with clear communication and strong drive.
• Data Competence : You are confident using tools such as Nielsen, IRI, GfK, or Drotax to make data‑driven decisions. Visualizing insights in PowerPoint comes easily to you, as does working with other MS Office products.
• Mindset : You enjoy thinking outside the box and continuously developing the role and its responsibilities.
