Job description

tMart runs as the region's first cloud store concept, delivering groceries within 30 minutes at hypermarket prices, and this Category Manager role takes full ownership of assortments, pricing, offers, and supply across that fast-growing service. Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, Egypt, Oman, and Iraq all fall within tMart's expanding footprint, and economic performance across assigned departments and categories, spanning sales, gross margin, and profit and loss, gets monitored against the company's commercial strategy. Commercial strategy and strategic guidelines, including category plans and pricing strategy, get implemented properly across the business. You will define and maintain the local assortment while integrating the basic assortment for each department and category, selecting local suppliers and negotiating cost price, discounts, rebates, and payment terms. Regional teams receive input on products and quantities needed for international and regional contracts, and issues with local suppliers get reviewed and resolved directly. Items get priced against guidelines and recommended prices for private label and imported products, supported by market price collection and country price audits. Local promo products get identified and priced, with forecasting and reordering information submitted to replenishment and a country promotion calendar developed. Promotional activities get followed through to effective execution, with consumer preferences, local competitors, and trends analyzed to sharpen future campaigns.
