Nature of work
We are looking for a "wolf" in retail chains who would help our pet products conquer the shelves of Lithuania (and later - our neighbors)!
If the words "shelf fee", "promotion planning" and "category manager" sound like everyday bread to you, rather than curse words, we invite you to talk. We have an impressive - as many as 4,000 SKUs - assortment for pets (food and care products), which needs a strong start in major Lithuanian retail chains with the prospect of expanding to Latvia and Estonia.
What we expect from you:

We have an impressive - as many as 4,000 SKUs - assortment for pets (food and care products), which needs a strong start in major Lithuanian retail chains with the prospect of expanding to Latvia and Estonia.
What we expect from you:
- Real experience in Lithuanian chains. You are currently working or have recently worked with major Lithuanian retail chains and are well versed in their inner workings. Experience or contacts in Latvia and Estonia will be a great advantage.
- Working contacts. You know which doors to knock on in Lithuania and how to reach decision-makers without long wanderings through the corridors.
- Negotiation skills. You understand the rules of the network game, you know how to negotiate terms and conditions and you know how to not only introduce products, but also ensure that they are successfully rotated.
- Independence. You don't need a boss standing behind you and checking the clock. You plan your own time, routes and know what needs to be done.
- A huge and high-quality assortment. As many as 4,000 different products (feed and care products), which you definitely won't have to be ashamed to present to buyers. The pet market is growing, and owners do not spare their four-legged friends.
- Stability and unlimited ceilings. We pay a fixed base salary for your peace of mind and generous bonuses based on results for your ambitions. How much you introduce and sell is how much you will earn.
- Complete freedom and tools. No sitting in the office from 8 am to 5 pm - you work on a free schedule. We provide all the necessary tools for work, including a company car, so that trips to clients are comfortable.
- Quick solutions. We are flexible, we do not have a bureaucratic apparatus, so we solve all issues quickly and efficiently.

- Product introduction practice. Real experience in introducing new brands or a large assortment to chains - from the first offer to signing a contract and the appearance of goods on the shelves.
