What is trade spend?

Trade Spend refers to the funds that manufacturers allocate to retailers or distributors to promote their products and drive sales. This includes activities such as discounts, rebates, promotional allowances, and other incentives that help products gain visibility and market share. Managing Trade Spend effectively is crucial for companies to maximize return on investment and maintain strong relationships with their retail partners. Proper analysis and tracking of Trade Spend can lead to better planning, reduced costs, and improved profitability.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a trade spend analyst?

To thrive as a Trade Spend Analyst, you need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a background in finance, accounting, or business, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with trade promotion management (TPM) systems, Excel, and data visualization tools like Tableau or Power BI is typically required. Excellent communication, problem-solving abilities, and cross-functional collaboration skills help you work effectively with sales, finance, and marketing teams. These competencies ensure accurate trade spend tracking, optimized promotional investments, and improved financial outcomes for the organization.

How does a trade spend analyst collaborate with sales and marketing teams to optimize promotional effectiveness?

A Trade Spend Analyst works closely with sales and marketing teams by analyzing promotional performance data, providing insights into the return on investment (ROI) for trade promotions, and recommending adjustments to future campaigns. This collaboration ensures that promotional budgets are allocated effectively and that strategies align with overall business objectives. Regular meetings and data-sharing sessions help create a feedback loop, allowing teams to fine-tune promotional tactics and respond quickly to market changes. This role often requires strong communication skills and a data-driven approach to problem-solving.

Both roles work closely within sales and marketing teams but differ in their core responsibilities—one manages budgets, the other interprets data to inform decisions.

Job description

General Manager, U.S. (CPG)

A growing, international CPG brand is hiring a U.S. General Manager to own and scale its North American business. This is a true P&L role, reporting directly to the CEO, with broad autonomy and a mandate to grow revenue, strengthen distributor partnerships, and build out a high-performing commercial team.

This is not an operations or plant GM role. The focus is commercial leadership: sales strategy, distributors, retail partnerships, trade spend, forecasting, and execution in a lean environment.

If this sounds like your next career move, apply now!

Compensation: Up to $200k base + bonus + full benefits
Location: Greater LA / OC (flexible hybrid; office currently in East LA County with potential move toward the LAX/Westside area

Qualifications:

  • 8+ years in CPG/FMCG, ideally with strong beverage exposure
  • Proven experience owning a full P&L in the U.S. market
  • Deep experience managing distributor-led models and national or regional retail accounts
  • Track record of retail expansion, trade spend optimization, and profitable growth
  • Experience working within a global or international organization preferred
  • Mandarin fluency is a strong plus, but not required

What You'll Own

  • Full U.S. P&L ownership (revenue, gross margin, trade spend, A&P, opex)
  • Distributor-led go-to-market strategy across grocery, mass, club, specialty, and other key channels
  • Direct ownership of key retail relationships, JBPs, pricing, and promotional calendars
  • Forecasting and demand planning discipline to support growth and supply continuity
  • Hands-on leadership of a small but growing U.S. team, with responsibility to attract and develop talent
  • Close alignment with global HQ while maintaining strong local decision-making

Why This Role

  • High-impact, high-visibility leadership role with direct access to executive decision-makers
  • Real autonomy to shape U.S. strategy and build a team
  • Flexible working model focused on outcomes, not face time
  • Backing of an established international brand with significant growth runway

**US Citizens and Permanent Residents are welcome to apply. Unable to provide sponsorship at this time.**
