Johannesburg, South Africa RedCloud Full time

**About RedCloud**

RedCloud is leveraging AI-powered technology to break down the barriers to fair and profitable trade in emerging markets.

RedCloud's Intelligent Open Commerce Platform connects FMCG Brands, Distributors, and Local Merchants on a single, equitable marketplace, empowering them with real-world insights and data to help them make better decisions. RedCloud enables FMCG Brands to seize new opportunities in emerging markets, facilitates access to more buyers & streamlines operations for Distributors, and helps Local Merchants spend more time selling products, not searching for them.

The company comprises a highly diverse, dynamic team of driven talented people from over twenty different countries, speaking multiple languages, with a physical footprint in Africa, Europe, and Latin America.

- Provide regular feedback to product and marketing teams to ensure the app and associated services meet market needs.
- **Performance Management**:

- Develop and manage a Relative Scorecard system to drive performance management and incentives for FAOs, ensuring alignment with company objectives.
- Regularly assess and adjust performance metrics to reflect changing market conditions and company priorities.
- **P&L Management & Cost Optimization**:

- Manage the FAO structure like a P&L, being responsible for budgeting, cost management, and resource allocation.
- Optimize the deployment and realignment of FAOs based on customer acquisition and expansion strategy, ensuring cost-effective operations.
- Analyze the financial impact of FAO deployment decisions and adjust strategies to maximize ROI while minimizing costs.
- **Stakeholder Collaboration**:

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product, Marketing, Sales, and Operations, to ensure alignment with GTM strategy and execution.
- Engage with regional leadership to understand market-specific challenges and tailor strategies accordingly.

**Requirements**:

- At least 6-8 years of experience in Go-To-Market strategy, sales management, or field operations, preferably in the FMCG or e-commerce sectors.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Sales, Finance, or a related field. A master’s degree is preferred
