Senior Category Manager
c. £62,000, Company Car, 25% Bonus + Benefits
Midlands
As one of the leading players in their category, my client has enjoyed huge success over recent years and boasts a fantastic portfolio of brands. They have grown from just under £500m to over £1.5bn in 4 years, and are constantly expanding their product offerings by innovating and acquiring other businesses. Unlike most blue chip businesses, there is little bureaucracy as they are privately owned, therefore you can expect decisions to be made much more quickly. Their strength in brands makes negotiation easier, and the momentum behind the brands makes for maximum sales. As a business, they have exciting plans for the future, with the aim of becoming the overall market leader in their category, by moving into different product ranges and continuing to increase innovation. Due to an internal promotion, they are looking to add a Senior Category Manager to their team.
As Senior Customer Category Manager, you will be responsible for the whole product portfolio across a range of grocery multiple customers. With people management responsibility for up to five people, you will be expected to develop and implement tailored merchandising solutions to optimise opportunity for customers. You will also advise customers on marketing mix, provide insight regarding promotions and pricing and evaluate promotional performance within specified accounts ensuring the retailer pursues a strategy that adds value.
To be considered for this opportunity, you must be working for a blue chip FMCG business in a Category role. Customer category experience is essential, and you must have high attention to detail, ability to work under pressure and have strong analytical and communication skills. On top of this, it is essential that you have the drive to succeed and are looking to make the next step in your career with a globally recognised brand.
If you have the relevant experience outlined above, please apply today.
