Our client is a global, £multi-billion food company with a world class product portfolio & excellent trading relationships with the major UK grocery multiples. Due to continued growth, they are now looking for a Junior Category Development Manager to support the Commercial Team and the Category Controller on one of the UK’s most prestigious multiple retailers.

As a Junior Category Development Manager you will take full responsibility for this top 2 Grocery Customer and will act as an objective, solution-focused professional within the business and with the customer. You will work cross functionally with Sales, NPD and Marketing to deliver bespoke category solutions to drive business growth. You will create Category Stories, based on insight and have strong experience of converting complex analysis into actionable plans. You will have worked with continuous data such as Nielsen, Kantar, IRI etc. and be commercially aware and self-motivated.

We are ideally looking for a high-performing Category Executive who is ready to spread their wings and take sole category responsibility for this one major account.

You will be comfortable influencing at a Senior Level and will work closely with the Sales, Category, Marketing and NPD teams to deliver against KPI’s.

This position will give the successful individual a unique opportunity to help shape the future direction of the customer relationship, and will open up exciting career development prospects towards more senior roles in Category Management, National Account Management or Marketing.  

Company

WIth over 40 years of combined senior managerial experience in large, blue-chip FMCG businesses (including Mars, Nestle & Premier Foods) our 2 partners understand the industry & job roles in great detail. Given the increasing consolidation within the Retail Sector and the resulting pressure on margins, space availability and New Product Development cycles, people are rapidly becoming an organisation's greatest asset. Our goal at Emptybox is to help you recruit those people who will make a real difference to your business; people with the right experience , the right skills and the right attitude. Equally, when taking the difficult decision to move people out of your business, our Outplacement Service can play a major role in helping the process work in a seamless, ethical and positive way.
