As the Strategic Brand Manager for Tobacco in Romania, you will own the commercial growth and strategic direction of one of Glovo’s most profitable and complex categories.

Your mission is to balance aggressive commercial upselling with operational excellence, ensuring a seamless user experience while navigating the highly regulated tobacco landscape in Romania.

THE JOURNEY

Commercial Strategy & Brand Partnerships

• Annual JBP Negotiation: Lead the negotiation and execution of annual Joint Business Plans (JBPs) with major tobacco partners (e.g., BAT) to secure long-term growth and commitment.

• Media & Ads Management: Develop and implement tailored media plans to maximize brand engagement and advertising spend within the app.

• Upselling & Monetization: Drive significant revenue growth by proactively upselling Glovo’s visibility assets and commercial levers to tobacco brands.

• Demand Steering: Steer customer demand toward the most profitable and high-performing channels, ensuring a balance between profit maximization and superior UX.

Operational Excellence & Compliance

• Regulatory Alignment: Work in lockstep with the legal and compliance teams to ensure all activities strictly adhere to evolving tobacco laws and regulations in Romania.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Retail Account Managers to optimize POS performance at the store level and with the Tobacco Operation Specialist to troubleshoot issues like "fake store" fail rates and order fulfillment channels.

• Performance Monitoring: Utilize data-driven insights to monitor category performance, identifying and resolving bottlenecks in the end-to-end tobacco order flow.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE RIDE

• Analytical Rigor: Proficiency in data-driven decision-making. You can run detailed analyses to identify patterns and root causes of performance deviations and communicate clear, evidence-backed rationale to stakeholders.

• Problem Solving: An issue-driven mindset with the ability to act quickly and decisively. You prioritize the largest immediate risks to the business and execute commercial playbooks to restore performance.
