We are looking for a Retail Marketing Manager to support brand awareness, store traffic, customer engagement and retail growth across VIVAIA's retail network.
This is a regional, collaborative and hands-on role working closely with internal teams, regional markets and franchises to translate brand and business priorities into effective local retail marketing initiatives. A key focus will be O2O deployment, test-and-learn and cross-market collaboration - identifying successful tactics, optimizing performance and scaling proven practices.

- Build trusted strategic partnerships with franchisees, understanding local business needs and providing marketing guidance to support brand awareness, store traffic, customer engagement and retail growth.
- Support markets and franchises in developing retail campaigns, store-opening marketing plans, activations and community initiatives, providing regional guidance to strengthen local execution and effectiveness.
- Review and approve retail marketing activation plans and new store opening (NSO) grand opening proposals, ensuring alignment with brand direction, business objectives and local market relevance.
- Monitor franchisee KPIs and campaign performance, identifying gaps and opportunities and providing actionable recommendations to optimize future initiatives.
- Support marketing spend allocation and budget management, providing recommendations to franchisees to prioritize investment and improve marketing effectiveness and ROI.
What We're Looking For
- 5-8+ years of retail or integrated marketing experience, ideally within fashion, footwear, beauty, lifestyle or other consumer-facing brands.
- Strong understanding of retail marketing, O2O customer journeys and APAC markets, with multi-market experience preferred.
- Solid experience in event and retail activation planning and execution, with a strong focus on customer experience.
- Experience working with franchisees, distributors or retail partners and managing cross-market stakeholders.
- Strong commercial, analytical and project management skills, with a proactive, hands-on approach.
- Social media marketing and content experience is a plus. Excellent English; additional Asian languages are advantageous.
