• 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).
• Gather market intelligence – new projects, competitor activity, customer needs – and report back to the BDM.
• Support promotional activities, product launches, and showroom events.
• Submit regular activity and visit reports (daily/weekly).

REQUIREMENTS

• Diploma or degree in Marketing, Sales, Business, or a related field (or equivalent field experience).
