Senior Channel Activation Manager - Retail

Write the plan. Then own the aisle. Most activation roles make you choose. Strategy or execution. Head office or field. Planning or retailer engagement. This role gives you all of it. You'll build the plan. Influence the retailer. Lead the activation . And see it come to life in store across ANZ . Why good activation people stop scrolling You'll work at the intersection of Marketing, Sales and Field Teams, playing a critical role in shaping how some of Australia's most recognised paint brands show up where purchase decisions are actually made in store. You'll own the whole journey. From annual planning and retailer engagement through to field execution and in-store activation. No handovers. No watching someone else deliver your ideas. Just genuine ownership from strategy through to execution. You'll also help shape what's next. The 2027 activation roadmap is still being written. This isn't about inheriting a playbook. It's about helping create it. The opportunity to influence the direction of the business is real. You'll work with trusted brands that already have credibility in the aisle. Taubmans and White Knight are brands retailers and customers already know and trust. Your role isn't to build awareness from scratch. It's to help those brands show up brilliantly where buying decisions are made. You'll join a marketing team that's collaborative, down-to-earth and genuinely close to the work. The ideas are ambitious, the expectations are high and there's a strong belief that great results come from working together, challenging the status quo and enjoying what you do. And while you'll be focused on local brands, local customers and local retailers, you'll do it with the scale, investment and backing of PPG behind you. So what will you actually be doing? You'll report to the Marketing Manager, ANZ Retail and lead retail channel activation across Australia and New Zealand.

You'll spend less time reacting to campaigns and more time building a plan. Less time handing work over and more time seeing it through. Less time accepting the default option and more time influencing better outcomes.

You enjoy influencing stakeholders. You like joining the dots between strategy and execution. You'd rather help write the brief than wait for someone to hand it to you. And while you're comfortable talking plans, budgets and activation calendars, what really motivates you is seeing great work land in market and knowing you played a key role in making it happen. Experience working supplier-side with major retailers will be highly regarded. Direct Bunnings experience is a bonus, not a requirement. Experience with retailers such as Coles, Woolworths, Kmart, Officeworks, Repco or similar environments can translate strongly. Interested? Let's start with a conversation. No lengthy process.
