• Generate and log leads for the sales team, tracking follow-up and conversion.
• Represent both the DEPO Premium and FOSTER BWH brands appropriately depending on the customer segment (premium vs. budget).

• Support promotional activities, product launches, and showroom events.

REQUIREMENTS

• Diploma or degree in Marketing, Sales, Business, or a related field (or equivalent field experience).
• 1-3 years’ experience in field sales/marketing, ideally in construction, building materials, hardware, or FMCG.
