What you'll be doing:

  • Owning the Algeria launch plan, driving monthly sell in and sell out volume against target from day one
  • Building and managing the relationship with Monster's distribution/bottler partner, agreeing KPIs and cascading them to the field teams
  • Reviewing P&L performance and identifying commercial actions to protect and grow profitability
  • Leading joint business planning with the bottler, working cross functionally with internal teams and the wider MENA support function

What we're looking for:

  • Around 5 years' FMCG sales experience, ideally in beverages, with exposure to key account and field sales management
  • Experience managing and influencing a distribution partner or bottler system, not just direct to customer sales
  • Confidence owning a P&L, with a solid grasp of commercial finance
  • Comfortable operating in an international matrix organisation
  • Fluent in French and English
  • A genuine appetite for building something new, this is a launch, not a steady state role


Algeria is a blank page and Monster wants someone who sees that as the opportunity it is. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
