    Director, Customer Strategy - Global

    • 8+ years relevant experience
    • Extensive experience in at least three of the following: human-centred design, customer strategy, innovation, retail, communications, marketing, or sales
    • Prior experience within a fast-paced, metric driven sales organization; start up experience preferred
    • New market launch experience is a major asset; Prior experience with a chain preferred
    • Experience working in developing countries and/or with low income customers highly encouraged
    • Bachelor's degree in relevant field (anthropology, sociology, design, management), graduate degrees preferred
