We are seeking a bold and strategic commercial leader to join our Eucerin business unit as a Senior Sales Strategy Manager for Eucerin. This role is pivotal in translating brand, category, and channel strategies into a clear, executable trade strategy — with a sharp focus on the unique dynamics of seasonal businesses with high dependency on flawless execution timing.
