  • Brand and Product Promotion: Effectively sell and promote the company’s branding, products, and related services to new and existing customers.

Customer Relationship Management:

  • Manage Existing Customers: Beyond acquiring new customers, you'll also manage existing ones, focusing on retention and expanding the range of services they use.
  • Customer Retention and Loyalty: A key aspect of your role will be to ensure that good customers are retained and their relationships with the company are deepened by tying them into additional services.

Financial Management (P&L Responsibility):

  • P&L Oversight: You’ll be responsible for the full profit and loss (P&L) of your division, ensuring that financial targets are met or exceeded.
  • Capital Expenditure: Manage capital expenditure effectively, ensuring that investments are aligned with strategic goals and deliver the expected return on investment.

Credit Risk Management:

  • Oversee credit risk: ensuring that the company’s financial exposure is minimized and that customer accounts are managed prudently.
  • Overall Financial Performance:
