  • Collaborate with stakeholders to create product launch strategies and campaign ideas;
  • Help manage the relationship with existing retail accounts and coordinate ongoing initiatives;
  • Support marketing and branding efforts aligned with kencko’s voice and mission; and
  • Use internal tools like Excel and PowerPoint, and get exposure to CRMs and data platforms.

🧠 Who You Are

✅ Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Communication or similar (Level 6 – QNQ);
✅ Passionate about retail, food innovation, and international business;
✅ Curious about U.S. consumer habits and trends in the wellness space;
