• 5-6 years of experience in Trade or Partner Marketing departments within fast paced environments across FMCG, e-commerce, tech or retail with a proven track record of developing and managing successful co-marketing campaigns.

• Strong understanding of the Italian commercial landscape: Deep familiarity with regional consumer behaviors, retail promotions, and local media channels across major Italian cities.

• Proven ability to manage external stakeholders: Exceptional communication, pitching, and relationship-management skills to successfully guide commercial conversations with enterprise partners.

• Data-driven mindset with commercial acumen: Comfort interpreting data sets to evaluate campaign effectiveness, optimize attribution, and report performance clearly to partners.
