An international FMCG company in a phase of strong growth is building out its group commercial function and is looking for a UAE-based Group Commercial Insights Manager to set the direction for commercial analytics across its markets.
What you will do
- Turn commercial priorities into a clear analytics agenda that supports growth plans, business planning and performance reviews
- Review sales performance across markets, channels, customers and SKUs, and flag gaps and growth opportunities
- Support decisions on pricing, pack and price architecture, portfolio mix, promotions and margin economics (revenue growth management)
- Track category and competitor performance using syndicated data: share, growth, distribution and pricing
- Build a clear view of distribution, outlet coverage, range, rate of sale and outlet productivity to spot execution gaps
- Combine internal sales, distributor, market and finance data into recommendations for commercial leadership
- Align local teams on analytical priorities, and set common KPI definitions and reporting standards across markets
- Define requirements with Digital and IT, maintain dashboards and reports independently, and build analytics capability within local teams
Who you are
- 5+ years in commercial analytics, sales analytics, revenue growth management or business insights, ideally in FMCG or at a research agency serving FMCG clients, and currently based in the UAE
- Strong grasp of FMCG commercial drivers: sales performance, distribution, pricing, portfolio mix and route-to-market
- Proven experience owning multi-market analytics projects without direct reporting lines
- Hands‑on experience using syndicated market data for category and competitor analysis
- Hands‑on Power BI or similar BI tools, including maintaining dashboards and KPI calculations independently
- Ability to separate one‑off analysis from recurring needs, and turn the latter into requirements for dashboards or automation
- Confident presenting fact‑based recommendations to senior stakeholders, with fluent business English
