Job Details

This role is all about the data. Information is power and this client is a power-house in that respect.

Based in the South East at their prestigious offices our client is a family owned business that has been sourcing some of the finest quality fresh produce for over 50 years. With their sustainable business practices and their mission to connect people with great produce, they are all here to make a difference. Great companies are created by the people who work for them and they are looking to recruit a passionate Category Partner to flourish in their ever growing Sales and Marketing teams.

In essence the role will be responsible for delivering insights from key customer and market data, to maximise the performance of their product lines and help unlock further growth opportunities. This role reports to the Sales and Marketing Director and responsibilities will include:

- Becoming the expert in market, consumer and competitor intelligence, analysing regular and ad hoc market and customer sales data, and sharing in a meaningful way across the business;

- Using internal sales data to fully understand their performance & growth by customer, by category and by country;

- Managing and running regular market data reports in order to provide accurate, relevant and timely analysis and insight on the market, including brand performance, competitor insight, NPD tracking and promotion evaluation;

- Evaluating other in-store/online activity and marketing campaigns including digital and e-mail campaigns;

- Collecting and communicating to the commercial and marketing teams relevant market intelligence covering retailer and competitor activities;

- Analysing range and space allocation, making recommendations to improve category performance;

- Providing ad hoc analytical support, delivering solid commercial arguments/rationale to direct and drive further growth of our client.

In terms of who you are and what you might bring to our client, specifically you may have already gained data management and analysis experience within an FMCG/Grocery environment – they don’t mind whether that’s within retail, marketing or a research agency. You’d be their perfect candidate if you’ve worked with IRI, Nielsen or Kantar market data as examples and, even better also have Google Analytics and data tracking under your belt.

As a strategic thinker you will be able to see the wood for the trees, having used your advanced Excel capability and high levels of numeracy to analyse and interpret a mass of data. Your output will be compelling data based arguments which when combined with your wider consumer and market understanding and excellent PowerPoint skills will enable you to present them in straightforward ways that persuade people to action.

To be truly successful in this busy and vibrant business you will be confident, have a methodical approach to tasks and a high attention to detail, be unflappable in the face of obstacles or changing priorities and able to use any such situations to wow and exceed expectations. They are a large business but still fleet of foot in a very fast paced environment so you will thrive off being self-motivated and success orientated, love working in a team but able to work independently as well.

If this sounds like you, please send your details through today to Max MacGillivray by applying direct through this website.
