Key Responsibilities Strategic Distributor Leadership Own the end-to-end commercial relationship with distributors in Finland and Norway, acting as Diageo’s strategic commercial lead. Set clear direction, priorities, and expectations through joint business plans, leading through influence and governance rather than day-to-day execution.

Ways of Working / Role Expectations This role requires a high level of independence, ownership, and commercial judgement. Success depends on the ability to challenge distributors constructively, set clear expectations, and hold partners accountable for delivery. The role operates with limited day-to-day structure and requires comfort working in ambiguous, regulated environments. This is a leadership role getting results through others but can at time require hands-on executions. Qualifications and Experience Required Strong and broad track record in commercial management, including customer-facing roles with full P&L accountability. Proven experience leading commercial strategy and execution in regulated markets and/or with state-owned customers. Demonstrated experience managing distributor relationships, setting goals, and navigating cross-cultural collaboration.

Strong financial competence and forecasting rigor. Fluency in English and at least one Scandinavian language is required.
