    • Coordinate monthly SOP inputs with Operations and Supply Chain to ensure the sales plan is matched with production availability, inventory, and service levels.

    • Provide the Acting GM with a simple monthly commercial dashboard covering revenue, volume, ASP, product mix, margin, collections, forecast accuracy, and export progress
    Recommend and control standard price lists, discount bands, and customer/channel pricing architecture.
    • Allocate sales targets by manager, customer group, and geography.

    • Strong familiarity with Saudi Arabia / GCC market dynamics; Saudi experience strongly preferred.
    • Track record of delivering growth in lean organizations where commercial discipline matters as much as relationship management.
