Key Responsibilities

1. Business & Revenue Growth

  • Deliver annual sales, volume, margin and retention targets for assigned MT accounts.
  • Prepare and execute account-wise monthly and quarterly business plans (MBP / QBP) focused on secondary sales, offtake and ROI.
  • Monitor account-level performance (growth, degrowth, profitability) and implement timely corrective actions.

2. Key Account Management & Negotiation

  • Act as the single point of contact for key modern trade customers – national and regional chains, cash & carry and club formats.
  • Lead JBP / TOT discussions and annual negotiations on margins, trading terms, visibility, data-sharing and joint initiatives.

  • Conduct regular market visits and in-store audits to track execution and address gaps with field teams and merchandisers.

    • 4. Demand Planning, Supply & Claims

  • Collaborate with Demand Planning, Supply Chain and Warehousing teams to ensure OTIF supply, high fill rates and minimal OOS.
  • Review forecast vs. offtake, seasonality and events to avoid overstocking, expiries and stock-outs.
  • Validate and close account claims (promotional claims, debit notes, damages, returns) in a timely and compliant manner.

    • 5. Data Analytics & Business Insights

  • Analyze sales, category, shopper and promotion performance data to identify growth opportunities and gaps.
  • Track promo ROI, event performance, NPD contribution and basket share for each key account.
  • Prepare and present structured weekly / monthly reviews and dashboards with clear action plans for internal stakeholders.

    • 6. Category Development & Collaboration

  • Work with customer category teams to build category strategies – assortment, pricing, packs, clusters and visibility blocks.
  • Drive category-building initiatives that enhance share, penetration and shopper conversion.
  • Partner with marketing and trade marketing to develop MT-specific plans, POSM, launches and activations.

    • 7. Team & Channel Partner Interface (where applicable)

  • Provide guidance and performance review inputs to Regional KAMs / MT Executives aligned to the same accounts.
  • Work closely with MT distributors / CNF partners to ensure ROI, stock hygiene, claim management and process compliance.

    • Qualifications & Experience

  • MBA / Post-Graduate in Marketing, Sales or Business Management preferred.
  • 8–12 years of experience in FMCG sales, with a minimum of 5 years in Modern Trade key account management.
  • Proven experience handling large MT accounts and multi-crore portfolios with consistent growth delivery.
  • Strong exposure to JBPs, TOTs, category management, launches, promotions and visibility in modern trade.
  • High comfort with Excel and data analysis for planning, forecasting and performance reviews.

    • Key Skills & Competencies

  • Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills.
  • Strong negotiation, commercial acumen and result orientation.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to translate data into actionable insights.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams (sales, supply chain, marketing, finance).
  • High ownership, agility and resilience in a fast-paced, growth-driven environment.
  • People orientation with the ability to guide and influence on-ground sales and merchandising teams.

    • About the Company

  • We are a rapidly growing FMCG food brand with a strong presence in modern trade and e-commerce. Known for our quality, innovation and customer-centric approach, we partner closely with leading retail chains to deliver superior products and reliable service.
