Job description

tMart is the region's first cloud store concept, delivering groceries at hypermarket prices within 30 minutes, and this Senior Category Manager role helps grow that business. You'll lead the development of a pricing strategy that meets objectives across each country tMart operates in, from Kuwait and the UAE to Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, Egypt, Oman and Iraq. Target competitors get identified, retail audits collected, and a pricing matrix set, with testing and results analysis supporting every decision. Assortment guidelines covering breadth and depth, SKU limits and brand limits all get led by category, adjusted for the role each category plays. Reports get developed to assess category performance, covering low performing items, GMROI, assortment opportunities, cohorts and CSAT scores. Pricing strategies need regular maintenance, resolving margin erosion and fixing anything that jeopardizes price perception. Category performance reviews and rationalization exercises identify items to close out and categories that need more listings. Promo trade plans get implemented and regional events identified, with marketing teams brought in on communication channels that reach existing and new customers. Supplier business reviews and commercial negotiations round out the role, working closely with the Regional commercial team to drive affordability, profitability and differentiated assortment.
