Job Details

Catman Jobs are currently recruiting a Category Manager for a major food business operating across branded products in Berkshire.

The Business

One of the most well respected food manufacturers in the South for both the quality of their products and the development of their people - our client is facing an increasing demand for their products which tread the tricky line of quality and value.

The Role

Picking up the category management of major accounts will be key to your responsibilities. You will also be expected to drive growth and the category with the insights you provide. You will be able expected to present balanced and unbiased advice, which is commercially savvy for both businesses and grow the relationship long-term.

The Person

You will already be operating as a category manager in a business where your next internal step is unclear or looking to take the next leap from a more junior position. As a category manager, ideally you will already have exposure to a broad category marketing skill-set within an FMCG environment. However this comes second in importance to the right attitude. You will be naturally inquisitive and never be satisfied with an answer. ‘Why’ and ‘How’ will be your favourite words and you will have an ambition and desire to ‘be the best’.

CatMan jobs specialise in Category jobs, Trade jobs, Customer jobs, Shopper marketing 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.
