This will be a very hands-on role that will combine commercial skills as well as marketing planning and implementation.
There will be an extensive animation calendar that needs to be planned and budgeted for. As there are so many markets, each with different requirements, you will also have to coordinate between the head office in Europe and each market to ensure on time delivery of POS GWP materials. An incentive system will need to be developed and maintained. You will be involved in trade negotiations for promotional activity and be heavily involved in the UAE trade marketing implementation. In addition you will also have to generate regular reports and analysis for all trade marketing activities.

You may have to travel within the UAE to visit the accounts and ensure the trade marketing has been implemented as per the plan.
