Project description
We, a global consulting firm, are supporting our client, a retail firm in the UAE, with a strategy project. The key tasks of the engagement are strategy development, business planning, and financial modelling.
We seek a consultant at a Manager seniority level to lead this project, with prior strategy project experience in the retail or consumer goods industry, ideally with experience in physical consumer marketplaces (eg automobile, agricultural products etc.). This project would last approximately 4-6 weeks and will be delivered on a hybrid basis in UAE.
🤖 Acknowledged reading the project description. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.😎 Below is my answer to the first 3 questions. Acknowledge understanding:
1. Do you have former strategy work/project experience in the retail industry?
Yes
Please elaborate
For 10 years, I worked with retail companies on strategic projects primarily in merchandising and pricing. As business analyst, implementation manager, and account manager for DDDD, a suite of software analytics and decision support software products and services,
I helped retailers implement profitable, competitive pricing strategies and promotions.
2. Do you have former work/project experience with physical consumer marketplaces (eg: automobile, agricultural products)?
Yes
Please elaborate
All of the companies I served during my 10 years as specialist in pricing and merchandising solutions operate in physical consumer marketplaces, including grocery, fashion, and consumer electronics. Customers I’ve served in strategic projects include: leading Spanish retailer; Italian supermarket cooperative; multinational retail company operating in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Africa; leading Italian retail group; Swedish grocery retailer; online retailer operating in the UK and Ireland; British retailer with multinational presence; Finland-based multinational retail company; leading Norwegian retailer; retail cooperative in the Nordic countries; major multinational retail group operating in South America; Russian supermarket chain; British consumer co-operative; multinational discount supermarket chain based in Spain; multinational fashion retailer based in Spain; US-based sports retailer; supermarket co-operative based in Denmark
3. Do you have former experience leading small projects or a full workstream?
Yes
Please elaborate
As specialist in DDDD solutions, I have porject experience that ranges from business development and short commercial or pre-sales projects (RFIs, RFPs, PoCs, RFQs…) to full workstream projects and program management responsibilities that lasted years. For example, I was involved in the first implementation of a centralized pricing solution for one of the leading retailers in Spain, with € 5 billion revenue under management and, over the course of 10 years, I managed the technology implementations in multiple departments (grocery, consumer electronics, regional divisions, corporate mergers and acquisitions…), as well as managing the commercial relationships with the customer acting as an interface with distributed product management, software development, and consulting teams. I was also involved, for 7 years, in the full pre-sale, implementation and post-sale management of the first customer analytics-focused pricing system of a multinational retail company operating in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Africa, with over AED 20 billion revenue under management.
