Job Details
Catman Jobs are recruiting a Category Manager for a branded business in the West Midlands region.
The Business
Our client manages a nationally recognised Non food brand with a considerable Top 4 presence. This shift in focus has led to the commercial side of the business to grow over the past few years, a trend that is set to continue for the foreseeable future.
The Role
This has resulted in the need for an addition to the category management team, with the roles focal point aligned to the major mults. Shopper & market insight, will be a major focus from the outset, alongside traditional Category Manager principles. In addition, developing strategies to drive growth of the category will be an important part of the role.
The Individual
This client is looking for an individual with experience in the Top 4, with an understanding of the FMCG industry; ideally from a category background with a team orientated approach to the way in which they operate. This will be coupled with the necessary skills to build, understand and manage relationships with customers.
The Opportunity
Development is key to the ethos of the company; however progression will be limited solely by your ambition for success.
CatMan jobs specialise in Category Management jobs, Trade & Customer Marketing jobs, Shopper Marketing jobs and Insight jobs 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.
