Job Details



Our client is a leading supplier of Private Label products to Europe's largest and most successful retailers. Although our client's core business is private label they also have a growing portfolio of their own successful brands, which are particularly important in emerging markets where private label is in its infancy. With six factories in the UK, 11 factories in Western Europe and One in both Poland and China our client has an excellent international standing. Due to internal promotions an exciting opportunity for an experienced Product Category Marketing Manager has arisen.



The key remit of the role of Category Manager is to develop and deliver the group category strategy, implementing tactical plans at a local level. You will manage NPD and EPD projects and when appropriate, on behalf of the lead market, you will project manage group category projects. In addition to product development you will be tasked with identifying gaps in the market, conducting category health checks and ensuring the overall profitability of your category. Acting as a conduit between local market requirements and group category aspirations you will ensure accurate translation of customer needs.



The ideal candidate will be a commercially astute product management specialist with experience of developing products for the grocery multiples. Experience of marketing private label products is desirable but not essential.
