About This Role
This role places you at the intersection of global strategy and local execution—acting as the on-the-ground command center for Transsion’s O2O initiatives. Transsion, the powerhouse behind brands like Tecno and Infinix, is deeply invested in merging digital engagement with physical retail, especially in emerging markets. As the O2O Project Exclusive Supervisor, you won’t just manage tasks; you’ll be the first to implement pilot projects, translating high-level plans from headquarters into workable, localized campaigns. This is ideal for a mid-career professional who thrives on ownership, cross-cultural coordination, and turning concepts into measurable retail results.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The posting signals a need for someone who can bridge two worlds: the structured, data-driven planning of headquarters and the fluid, relationship-based reality of the Addis Ababa market. You’re expected to have solid project management foundations (3-5 years), but the real weight falls on your ability to negotiate with local store owners, adapt promotional mechanics like coupon distribution to local buying behavior, and handle the logistics of enrolling partner stores. Fluency in English and strong communication skills are implied, but the unspoken requirement is comfort with ambiguity—since this is a first-time rollout, you’ll be building processes as you go.
How to Approach This Application
Your application must demonstrate that you can operate as a bridge, not just a doer. Emphasize any experience where you’ve taken a central strategy (from a multinational or local brand) and adapted it for the Ethiopian retail landscape—especially if it involved recruiting merchants or managing in-store promotions. Highlight specific examples of coordinating across teams with different cultural or language backgrounds, and mention any familiarity with mobile phone retail channels. The employer will prioritize candidates who show they can handle accountability from day one, so frame your CV around ownership of end-to-end project delivery.
Who This Role Suits
This role best suits a project coordinator or retail operations professional with a knack for cross-functional communication and a tolerance for high-stakes first-time launches. Competition is moderate—it requires a rare mix of local market knowledge and the discipline to satisfy headquarters reporting, so those who can demonstrate both will stand out.
