Is that the fake job title you make up or is it real? If so, what does it mean? :D
Well basically we operate 50 supermarkets and 5 hypermarkets....

I am in charge of the 50 supermarkets in Saudi (well second in charge since I am an assistant.) Basically I do the branding, the week to week promotions of different items, the tactical mega-promotions once or twice a year...etc.

PS: And yeah we are kicking Geant's and Carrefour's ass over here :p

Oh, right on. So what's your chain called?

So are you like an intern or a boss in the brand hierarchy (I've no idea how many people they had in that department)?

It's called Panda. www.panda.com.sa

No not an intern nor the boss. There are 14 grades in the hierarchy (14 being highest). I am a grade 9.

Edit: This is the old website, the new one should be launched next week or so I have been told.

So what is your day to day job like? You look at sales statistics and figure out which products to advertise?
I am getting suspicious of this sudden interest Martin :D

Thats part of the job. But I would say one of the main parts is that we have weekly booklets that are distibuted around the Kingdom (1.4 million per week). These booklets contain different special offers to consumers. What goes in and why is decided our team. Of course we also have to moniter what other competitors are doing. Another part is the branding of the 50 stores and the general appearence. We have deliver the general feel of the stores according the Panda brand equity, and make sure that it's unified across the 50 stores.

I have a confession to make. I work for Carrefour :p

So does your job ever get really stressful? Like sales plummet and everyone's blaming? "Boy if we don't get back on track this week.. " :D

Why am I curious? I'm curious about a lot of things. I just asked Vin a question about his job and I tend to ask everyone about their study/work.

So are you loaded or what? :D
