Job Details

CatMan Jobs are currently recruiting a Category Manager for a Yorkshire based, FMCG business with a number of predominantly own label products in its portfolio.

The Business

This business operates in a high volume category with its products purchased up and down the country. Operating across a number of categories, our client is a big player in the FMCG market. With strong net revenue growth last year, it is a company that is continually striving to be the best.

The Role

Our client is looking for an experienced Category Manager to join the team. With unlimited scope to drive the category forwards, you will be expected to contribute through creative solutions and supporting the Senior Category Manager in category presentations. As a category led business, the role will sit alongside a strong team of fellow Category Managers.  

The Person

You will have experience in category management with major grocery multiples, with broad experience of standard category management tools, e.g. range reviews, GAP analysis and NPD recommendations. Along with this, an astute commercial acumen will help you succeed in the role. A deep understanding of Nielsen and or Kantar data will put you in prime position to make an immediate impact and advise the relevant stakeholders. To make these recommendations, however, you must have a strong personality and the capability to build relationships and convince effectively.

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.
