Job Details

This is a rare opportunity for a Category Manager to create growth for a giant in the FMCG sector, raise your profile, and spark fast moving, far reaching career development in a legendary marketing team with iconic brands.

Our client is one of the largest food producers in the UK whose impressive portfolio features a wide range of market leading products. With a group turnover of more than £2.5m and brand sales in excess of £1.6m they are a blue-chip manufacturing and marketing organisation behind some of Britain’s best loved household brands.

This ambitious company is on an adventurous path to substantial growth which will be driven by the quality of their people and their unique culture of commitment to exceeding expectations. Their expansion will be powered by being passionate about their work, delivering beyond commitments and accountabilities, empowering and developing people and doing the right thing by customers, suppliers, staff and all other stakeholders. Their aim is to be nothing less than the best in all that they do.

Now they seek a talented and experienced Category Manager to develop a strong relationship with the customer, drive the achievement of NPD and Distribution targets, and maximise the customer’s range review calendar and opportunities to execute PF plans.

The company is a progressive employer offering an excellent range of career opportunities and career paths, whose philosophy is to reward hard work actively and recognise talent with promotion. To succeed, you must be able to demonstrate:

  • Sound category management experience in FMCG retailing or manufacturing
  • Commercial flair and drive to deliver improved P&L
  • The technical skills to manipulate data and create relevant insights translated into commercial reality

You should also have the flair to present, influence and persuade internal and external audiences, and if you also have previous Shopper Marketing experience it would be an advantage.

For ambitious candidates, this is an excellent opportunity to develop your career with a blue-chip, world-wide market leader.

Interested? Then email your CV to our consultants at Ashwood Executive Search International, quoting reference number 2062.
