<p><b>1. Purpose of the Role</b> </p><p>Our Client is establishing a Franchise Development division to extend its sales and service network </p><p>across GCC/MENA and Africa through franchised partners. An external consultant is currently engaged to </p><p>develop the franchise framework — SOPs, operating rules, pricing architecture and commercial models. The </p><p>Franchise Development Manager will act as the company’s owner of that engagement: working alongside the </p><p>consultant, ensuring every deliverable reflects Harshad Group’s actual business realities, reviewing and </p><p>challenging the output, and then taking the finished framework into the market to recruit, screen, onboard </p><p>and manage franchise partners across the full company portfolio — precious metals and jewellery technology </p><p>instruments (XRF analysers, balances, melting and refinery equipment), consumables, and after-sales service </p><p>and calibration. </p><p>This is a builder role, not a caretaker role. The consultant provides the framework; the Manager is </p><p>accountable for making it work commercially, and for the division reaching viability. The successful candidate </p><p>will be comfortable operating without an established playbook and creating order where none exists. </p><p><b>2. Key Responsibilities</b> </p><p><b>A. Consultant Engagement and Framework Ownership</b> </p><p>•Serve as the company’s primary counterpart to the external franchise consultant: manage the working </p><p>relationship, agree deliverables and timelines, and hold the engagement to schedule. </p><p>•Supply the consultant with accurate operating input — product portfolio structure, margin realities, </p><p>service and calibration workflows, market conditions, and existing branch practice — so that the </p><p>framework is built on how the Group actually operates. </p><p>•Review, test and challenge every consultant deliverable before adoption: franchise model, SOPs, </p><p>operating rules, pricing architecture, fee and margin structures, territory definitions, and performance </p><p>commitments. </p><p>•Adapt consultant output to company requirements and to the practical conditions of each target </p><p>market; identify gaps, unworkable assumptions, and commercial risk, and drive them to resolution. </p><p>•Coordinate internal stakeholder review of consultant deliverables across Sales, Service, Finance, Supply </p><p> Chain and Legal, and consolidate feedback into a single company position. </p><p>•Take ownership of the finalised franchise framework once the consultant engagement concludes: </p><p>maintain the Franchise Operations Manual and SOP set, and update it as the network develops and field </p><p>experience accumulates. </p><p>•Work with Legal to finalise the franchise documentation pack — franchise agreements, letters of intent, </p><p>disclosure documents, territory schedules, and renewal and termination protocols. </p><p>•Operate the governance framework in practice: audit checklists, compliance scoring, escalation paths, </p><p>and corrective-action procedures. </p><p><br></p><p><b>B. Market Development and Partner Pipeline</b> </p><p>•Map target territories across GCC/MENA and Africa; assess market size, competitive presence, </p><p>regulatory requirements, and jewellery and refining industry concentration in each. </p><p>•Build and maintain a qualified pipeline of prospective franchise partners through industry networks, </p><p>trade fairs, exhibitions, jewellery associations, referrals, and direct outreach. </p><p>•Represent the Group at regional trade shows and industry events as the primary face of the </p><p>franchise programme. </p><p>•Prepare and deliver franchise investment presentations, business cases, and return-on-investment </p><p>models to prospective partners. </p><p><br></p><p><b>C. Screening, Due Diligence and Selection</b> </p><p>•Apply the company screening framework to evaluate prospective franchisees on financial capacity, </p><p>market reputation, technical capability, infrastructure, existing business lines, and cultural fit with </p><p>organization. </p><p>•Conduct structured due diligence: financial statement review, trade and bank reference checks, site </p><p>inspections, background verification, and conflict-of-interest assessment. </p><p>•Prepare selection recommendations with supporting analysis for management approval; maintain full </p><p>documentation of the decision trail for every applicant, approved or rejected. </p><p>•Negotiate commercial terms within approved parameters and coordinate execution of franchise </p><p>agreements. </p><p><br></p><p><b>D. Onboarding and Launch</b> </p><p>•Own the franchisee onboarding journey from signature to first revenue: territory handover, initial stock </p><p>planning, showroom or service-centre setup, branding and signage, and systems access. </p><p>•Coordinate with Product, Service, Technical and Supply Chain teams to deliver product training, </p><p>technical certification, and service capability build-up for franchise staff. </p><p>•Ensure each new franchisee is operational within the agreed launch timeline and meets brand and </p><p>technical standards before going live. </p><p>•Develop launch marketing support in coordination with the Marketing team, including local campaigns, </p><p>opening events, and digital presence. </p><p><br></p><p><b>E. Franchise Performance Management</b> </p><p>•Manage the ongoing relationship with all appointed franchisees as their primary point of contact within </p><p>Harshad Group. </p><p>•Monitor franchisee performance against agreed sales, service, inventory and compliance commitments; </p><p>conduct structured business reviews on a defined cycle. </p><p>•Conduct periodic audits of franchise operations against SOPs and brand standards; issue corrective </p><p>actions and track closure. </p><p>•Identify underperforming partners early, diagnose root causes, and implement recovery plans; where </p><p>recovery is not viable, manage exit or termination in line with contractual and legal requirements. </p><p>•Act as escalation point for franchisee commercial, technical, supply and service issues, coordinating </p><p>internal resolution. </p><p><br></p><p><b>F. Commercial, Financial and Reporting</b> </p><p>•Build and own the franchise division business plan, budget, and revenue forecast; take accountability for </p><p>division profitability. </p><p>•Track franchise fee income, product revenue, service revenue, and receivables across the network; work </p><p>with Finance on credit exposure and collections. </p><p>•Maintain the franchise CRM and reporting infrastructure; ensure pipeline, partner, and performance </p><p>data is accurate and current. </p><p>•Report to management on network status, pipeline health, expansion progress, risks, and financial </p><p>performance on an agreed reporting rhythm. </p><p><br></p><p><br></p> </div><h2 class="h5">Skills</h2>
