Job Description

Category Manager

Competitive base salary + excellent benefits

South East

TL882201

Our client is a leading food manufacturer seeking first class category management individuals to be given a high level of autonomy in a very flexible, entrepreneurial, fast paced environment.  This role will suit a fast tracked, super talented individual frustrated with development opportunities in their current business, looking to progress quicker than most.  However, it would also suit a more experienced Category Manager who can share first class experiences and expertise with the broader team.  

Your role as Category Manager will be to champion the shopper from a specific customer perspective, ensuring external alignment of customer range and category reviews with the plans of the business.  Working in partnership with the Category Strategy and Sales teams, it will be your responsibility to develop the category relationship with the Buyer and position the business as the category expert.  You will lead range and category reviews, and tailor and present your customer plans. 

This is a full on, challenging and highly rewarding position with excellent career development opportunities and competitive remuneration.

  

Our Ideal Candidate

It is highly likely you will join with previous FMCG retailer or manufacturer experience within category management.  You will be highly focussed on commercial success factors and be very driven by the achievement of sales and shares targets.  You will have strong skills in data manipulation, specifically retailer data such as Dunnhumby, LMG and Retail Link, as well as Nielsen and IRI, and you will be able to provide evidence of using data to create relevant insights.  Relationship building is an absolute must given you will be the first point of contact for the customer as the category expert.  Clear, concise communication is key as is an open, collaborative, yet focussed working style.
