• Translate insights and data into clear, compelling commercial narratives aligned with ofis brand standards

3) Go-to-Market, Branding & External Visibility

• Develop go‑to‑market kits for new buyers, new products, and new offerings
• Drive quarterly capability themes (e.g. sustainability, organic, harvest trends) to structure sales outreach
• Support harmonization of customer-facing materials across origins so buyers experience one ofi Spices identity
• Support or lead trade fairs and industry events (booth/room concept and execution)
