Key Responsibilities:
• Brand & Sales Support: Assist in the development and execution of 1-2 year brand plans, ensuring alignment with overall business goals.

• New Product Development: Support the development of new products by coordinating the preparation and presentation of gate documents for the chocolate portfolio. Maintain the NPD tracker, ensure products meet regulatory standards, and oversee the accurate setup of new products in internal systems.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Act as a key liaison between internal teams and brand partners, managing artwork approvals, product compliance, and responding to customer inquiries in a timely manner.
