This is a field-centric, target-driven role with attractive incentives for meeting/exceeding targets.

Key responsibilities

• Build and maintain relationships with retail chains, mall management, brand managers, distributors and local vendor partners.
• Co-ordinate with ops, production, logistics and creative teams to ensure feasibility and profitable delivery of projects.
• Track activation performance (attendance, leads generated, samples distributed, redemption rates) and provide concise post-activation reports to clients.
• Attend client meetings, pitches and local trade events; represent JK Events professionally in the market.

-------------------------

Target KPIs

• Knowledge of on-ground activation formats (mall activations, retail promotions, roadshows, sampling, cantervan, cinema promotions etc.).
• Excellent communication and presentation skills in English and local language (Gujarati / Hindi).
• Comfortable with frequent travel / on-field work and flexible hours (events often on weekends).
• Good commercial acumen — pricing, margins, basic P&L understanding.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to coordinate cross-functional teams.

• Existing relationships with retail chains, mall owners, local vendors, or FMCG/distribution contacts in Ahmedabad.
