Job Details



A leading global food business based in the West Midlands is seeking a category manager for their already established and successful category management team. This is a customer facing role and will be working specifically with a top 4 supermarket.

The purpose of the role is to develop a category relationship with the leading account by providing them with category & shopper focused insight and building a long-term category development plan encompassing all of the category levers. Also, to continue to develop, tailor and implement the in-store vision for the product. You will also work collaboratively with the cross-functional selling team (Trading Director, NAMs, MS&P, Shopper Marketing) to understand category and customer threats and opportunities, and build plans to realise growth.

Previous experience in category management from an FMCG supplier is essential as well as a strong analytical nature but also excellent communication skills. Candidates will be adept at using excel and or database systems and have a passion for the FMCG sector. Team leadership experience is preferred for this role but not essential.



This is a very high profile role in the category team and you would have opportunities to progress upwards or into other departments.
