In short

Are you well versed in all things Retail Marketing? Do you bring with you a hands-on approach, yet entrepreneurial spirit? If this speaks to you, we have an exciting opportunity waiting. Our team is looking for a dynamic new team member to support the Retail Marketing Team based in Shanghai. You will work very closely with the Chinese Marketing- and B2B Sales Team, ensuring seamless executions of all locally planned retail store activations. You will help find opportunities with our commercial team and business partners to grow brand awareness and sellout - managing projects from brief through to execution.

Your Mission

Develop and carry out Greater China B2B marketing strategy across all wholesale channels, proactively driving substantial business growth while upholding a polished, unified, and premium brand identity at every consumer touchpoint.
Elevate and humanize the in-store consumer journey across On’s B2B retail spaces in China, transforming each visit into a memorable, brand-defining experience that resonates with local expectations.
Translate and distill the overarching Greater China brand vision and B2B priorities into a sharp, market-specific GTM playbook—meticulously mapping every offline touch point to ensure flawless execution.
Serve as the pivotal bridge between B2B partners and cross-functional teams (Sales, BD, Merchandising, Training, etc.), orchestrating campaign-driven sell-in and sell-through initiatives.
Conceptualize and deliver high-impact 360° brand experiences, consistently anchoring every initiative in a forward-looking, consumer-centric, mindset—leveraging deep consumer insights to anticipate market shifts and outpace competitive benchmarks.
Drive and amplify sell-through performance through strategically timed campaigns and persistent, always-on activations—collaborating closely with internal stakeholders (MKT, Merch, Commercial, Training) and external partners (B2B distributors, landlords) to maximize in-market resonance.
Own and refine the planning and execution of in-store presence, visual tools, and localized brand storytelling across Greater China—ensuring each element strikes with visual impact, reinforces brand equity, and actively fuels purchase intent.
Lead and coordinate the end-to-end delivery of sales meetings, partnering with the sales team to craft compelling, insight-backed presentations that secure buy-in and accelerate seasonal adoption.
