• Client solutioning: Understand FMCG pain points and co-design high-impact, data-enabled solutions.
• Indirect growth: Collaborate with Smollan’s existing verticals to embed our tech into their client conversations.
• GTM strategy: Shape and localise go-to-market strategy, messaging, and pipeline across multiple markets.
• Partnership building: Represent Smollan at industry events, build alliances, and elevate our visibility across the region

What You Bring

• Strong exposure to data/analytics platforms or SaaS solutions used by FMCG/retail clients.
• Proven success leading market expansion across European geographies.
• A consultative sales mindset — able to connect the dots between data, technology, and commercial impact.
• Strategic thinking, relationship-first execution, and comfort working across ambiguity.
