About the Position

AIT Manager

Islamabad, Pakistan

BAT is evolving at pace into a global multi-category business. Our purpose is to create A Better Tomorrow™ by Building a Smokeless World. To achieve our ambition, we are looking for colleagues who are ready to join us on this journey! Tomorrow can’t wait, let’s shape it together!

The role of the AIT Manager is one of creating commercial opportunities for our business by levelling the competitive playing field through the removal or disruption of illegal operators to restrict the growth of illicit trade where possible. This is done by managing public information gathering capability seeking to identify the entities involved in the production, movement and sale of illicit tobacco products; working with government authorities to curb illicit trade through enforcement; and seizing and destroying illicit products.

Responsibilities

• Provide timely and comprehensive publicly available information to support the business and influence end-market/area AIT operational activity.
• Maintain a thorough understanding of the drivers and extent of illicit trade relevant to the end-market/area thus contributing to the upkeep of the publicly available information within the AIT landscape.
• Support the AIT Manager by providing analytical overviews (including strategic public information reports and target specific profiles), to support AIT strategy decisions and business development.
• Work closely with the AIT Manager to provide business focused responses to requests for support received from both internal and external stakeholders e.g. CORA, SP&I or Law Enforcement.
• Support the AIT Manager in the management and direction of end-market/area public information collection programmes.
• Undertake open source research on trends in illicit trade and the dynamics in which it takes place, ensuring that AIT targets are thoroughly profiled.
• Support and participate in end-market/area internal and external training modules and capacity building workshops.
• Participate in stakeholder mapping.
• Adhere to and remain up-to-date with the end-market/area AIT strategy, ensuring that all analytical work is aligned with this.
• If required, provide analytical support to multiple markets as directed by the AIT Manager.
• Integrate publicly available information with in-house commercial market research in order to flag potential opportunities of contestable market space being created within the end-market/area that can be exploited.

Requirements

• Proficiency in information analysis and the production of reports and briefings, often to tight deadlines and without supervision.
• The ability to proactively seek out relevant sources of information.
• Excellent communication skills (both verbal and written).
• People skills: a confident ability to liaise on a cross-functional basis with BAT Managers, Law Enforcement Officials, lawyers and Service Providers.
• Efficient time management and the ability to prioritise, ensuring that varied and sometimes competing demands on workload are met without compromising on quality.
• Responsible handling of sensitive information whilst sharing appropriately within BAT Group when business needs demand visibility.
• Creativity and innovation: the ability and confidence to view problems from different perspectives and propose new solutions.
• A sound understanding of illicit trade and the broad awareness of related legal issues and evidential requirements.

We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Permanent employment
• Opportunity to work in a global, innovative environment
• Access to continuous learning and development programs
• Diverse health plans and work-life balance initiatives
• Flexible holiday plan with additional incentives
