RISE TO THE CHALLENGE

Create action plans designed to achieve and exceed the company's volume and LAU objectives. This involves building a robust pipeline of multi-category portfolio initiatives in close collaboration with regional and global portfolio and product innovation teams, as well as local CCO teams. Ensure these initiatives are seamlessly managed from ideation through to IMS, driving impactful results and solidifying our market leadership.

More Specifically you will:

 • Market Understanding: regularly perform Market analysis, Brand Strategies and annual execution plans  to monitor and analyze markets development (business environment; consumer preferences; PMI and competitors’ brands performance), identifying gaps in markets’ brand portfolio and needs for development of new product, packaging or product pricing. Consult and collaborate with markets on establishing market portfolio and brand strategies and annual execution plans. Review and provide inputs and recommendations on the development of brand strategies and execution plans, assessing and leveraging communalities between markets.

• Innovation Pipeline: Lead and manage transformative product innovations across all SFP platforms, ensuring they significantly enhance and elevate the Egypt & Levant SFP portfolio. These innovations should resonate deeply with consumers, address existing portfolio gaps, and strengthen our offerings to firmly establish our leadership position in the SFP market.

• Portfolio Strategy: Develop and implement a coherent short and long-term portfolio strategy for the Egypt & Levant Cluster that is anchored in product, consumer and trade understanding, supports the overall business plan and takes full advantage of the market's potential - thus contributing to a long term sustainable market leadership. This is done on an on-going basis in alignment with the Egypt CCO HoFs and the Levant GMs and is regularly revisited in case of changing market needs, which is frequent in our volatile and dynamic markets (particularly Egypt, Palestine and Lebanon).

 • Volume Management: Work closely with the Commercial Planning and S&OP teams to optimize volumes in order to maximize product potential and availability, while mitigating LOGD and OOS, to ensure commercial success. Each of our markets has different RTMs which impact the Supply Chain (EG is a DSD market with FX issues, LB is a wholesale market, and JO has a hybrid model, and all markets have geopolitical obstacles that are heavily impacting the supply chain). To ensure commercial success while minimizing lost opportunity (OOS) or financial loss (LOGD), this role requires strong collaboration and planning with the aforementioned teams on a bi-weekly basis.

• Process Management: Own and lead the following processes, ensuring timely and efficient execution:

1) Product Lifecycle Management: Oversee LPC, RPC, CPC, and ISS/business cases, ensuring each stage is managed within set timelines to maintain product lifecycle efficiency.

3) Market-Specific Processes: Handle MR, packaging EDDAs and product registration processes, ensuring compliance with market-specific requirements within the required timeframes.

• Team Management: Leading and managing talent, fostering skill development and growth, and empowering team members through effective delegation.
