Overview of the Role This role is dedicated to our client JTI, working on their heated tobacco brand: Ploom. Please follow the link to learn more about Ploom: https://www.ploom.co.uk/en/about-ploom We are on a mission to bring Ploom to targeted regions in the UK based on the density of heated tobacco users that exist there. This is following the success of the programme that TRO have delivered for Ploom in London since November 2021 and ongoing. This role will require you to work inside/outside a large grocery retailer to raise awareness / drive trial and ultimately sell Ploom to qualified / engaged customers. You will be working independently, and it is essential that you are a driver who owns a vehicle because you will be responsible for owning, setting up and managing your own Pop Up set up and stock. A bit about the role: Taking customers on a carefully curated journey, you will be responsible for product education, product trial and most importantly product sales. Working both inside and outside at the retailer will allow you to engage with qualified smokers / dualists to bring Ploom to their attention.
