ROLE PROFILE
Job Title: Decision Support Manager
Level: 5
Reports To: Commercial Finance Manager
Context/Scope:Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa by geography and by population (approx 42m people, with a growth rate of 2.8%). It is a member of the East African Community whose headquarters is in Arusha in Tanzania. The largest population, however, is in Dar es Salaam, which is the commercial capital. Tanzania is well endowed agriculturally and has vast mineral resources in the western part of the country, where the largest urban centre is Mwanza.
Serengeti Breweries Ltd (SBL) operates exclusively in Tanzania and is the 2nd largest beer company with a market share of 30%. It is an integrated demand/supply business with 3 operational breweries in Dar, Mwanza and Moshi. SBL's flagship brand is Premium Serengeti lager and accounts for 46% of SBL sales volumes. The other beer brands are Tusker, Uhuru, Kick, Tusker Malt Lager, Pilsner and Guinness.
SBL's 3 breweries in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza and Moshi have a combined capacity of 1.5m Hls.
Market Complexity:SBL operates in a competitive environment and in a vast geography. The main player in the beer industry is Tanzania Breweries Ltd. (TBL), a subsidiary of SABMiller, who until recently were a third party manufacturer of EABL brands Tusker, Pilsner and Guinness. As a result of the cessation of the agreement between TBL and EABL, there is heightened competitive activity in that market.
Inflation rates remain high in Tanzania (7.5% expected in F12) and average income per capita is less than 1 USD per day. The GDP growth is estimated at 6.4% and is expected to grow to 7.1% as investment, trade and tourism pick up. There is growing consumer affluence and consumerism, giving rise to greater opportunities in our product categories.
