Job Details
Catman Jobs are currently recruiting a Category Manager for a well respected food group in the Yorkshire.
The Business
A food group with strong values, long heritage, recognition within the category and endless scope to drive further growth either within the category or using the brand to leverage entry to new categories. Innovation and changing consumer trends have reinvigorated this category within the retailer and an increasingly conscious shopper and retailer have made way for new levels of ranging possibilities and New Product Development.
The Role
Through unprecedented growth in recent years and a significant uplift in activity for the Category team they are now looking for two new Category Manager's capable of working with thier major retail customers. Reporting in to a Category Controller you will join a strong and growing team and be accountable for the full category relationship within your customer base.
The Individual
With two roles available there is scope for an established category manager or someone on the upward curve who has the fundamental building blocks of category management ideally with customer facing experience in a traditional FMCG environment. Culture fit will be as important as technical fit and therefore you must be able to operate in an environment that is as fast paced and dynamic as any at the top of their game whilst holding on to the family values instilled from above.
The Opportunity
A dynamic and progression focused environment combined with significant group investment and growth of the team make this business an exciting place to work.
Success brings reward and as a category manager with backing, who knows what the future could bring?
CatMan jobs specialise in FMCG Category jobs, Trade, Customer jobs, Shopper marketing jobs and insight recruitment across the UK.
Company
Catmanjob.com was created in 2006 as a specialist division specifically supporting category, shopper and net revenue professionals. The brain child of Paul Nyman who realised at the time “we just didn’t know enough about category management and how it affects a business”. Catmanjobs operates as a division of Paul Nyman Consultancy, which was established in 2004 to support wider FMCG recruitment markets, after Paul was made redundant, and toured the UK recruitment market seeking employment to pay the mortgage.
During this journey he identified some of the most important characteristics for job seekers hunting for a new role:
- Understand what I, as a candidate can do.
- Honestly tell me why I cannot perform in the role I applied for.
- Know how your clients can advance my career.
- Get back to me.
- Don’t BS me.
These have become entwined in the approach the team at Paul Nyman Consultancy take to support individuals achieve career success across the UK and Europe.
We offer not just recruitment, but wider career support and development through workshops which include national and international recruitment and development experience.
Not just a recruiter.
We enjoy being career developers.
