An exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual has arisen within a large Blue Chip drinks business. This business is renowned for having great, well known brands with fantastic heritage and sustainability. As a business with a multi-national presence in both the On and Off Trade, they supply the world’s largest retailers and groups and also sell to small, independent restaurants and bars. They have fantastic growth plans and are consistently investing in their people and infrastructure in order to achieve their goals. Due to a recent restructure they now require a Category Manager for the On Trade.

As Category Manager you will work across all of the On Trade accounts within the business. The main focus of the role will be to support and drive the category team agenda by analysing and interpreting trends from Category and Consumer Data.

This role will have a customer facing element and you will be expected to deliver your findings to both the sales team and the customer.
