Purpose of the role:

We’re expanding our Strategic Insights team to elevate the weight of insights in decision-making across Caucasus Cluster.

As Strategic Insights Manager, you will help JTI Caucasus Cluster make confident, consumer‑centric, data‑driven decisions. You will connect signals across consumers, trade, competitors, and macro trends - turning complex information into clear recommendations that shape portfolio, pricing, and marketing & sales strategy.

As Strategic Insights Manager, you will:

• Lead market modelling & scenario planning: build and maintain long‑term forecasts, ensure model integrity across planning cycles, and align assumptions consistently across the three markets and functions.
• Turn data into growth choices: synthesize insights on consumer behavior, switching dynamics, and decision journeys to steer portfolio and growth strategy across categories.
• Drive performance visibility: track and communicate key performance indicators for assigned categories, improve analytics tools, and streamline reporting in partnership with the Global Business Service center (GBS).
• Strengthen cross‑functional ways of working: support adoption of the multi‑category portfolio framework, align stakeholders, and ensure consistent adoption across the organization.
• Own competitive & market intelligence: monitor competitor moves, launches, pricing, and promotions; translate insights into actionable recommendations for portfolio, route‑to‑consumer, and activation.
• Manage research partners and budgets: lead end‑to‑end consumer and trade research with external agencies, ensure high-quality outputs, optimize costs, and proactively flag risks and opportunities.

What we are looking for:

• University degree (preferably marketing, economics, statistics or related).
• 3+ years relevant experience in FMCG in marketing, strategic insights, analytics, or market research (cross‑functional / multi‑country exposure is a plus).
• Strong analytical skills: ability to manage data, run analysis, and extract actionable insights with strong attention to detail.
• Strong business acumen: understanding of market dynamics, competitive landscapes, and industry trends.
• Solid understanding of market research methodologies and ability to translate findings into strategic recommendations.
• Confident communicator: able to present complex information clearly and influence stakeholders.
• Strong working knowledge of Excel, PowerPoint, and Power BI.
• Fluent English; Georgian and/or Russian is a plus.

What to expect:

• A role with high visibility, partnering closely with senior stakeholders.
