Category Insight Manager – Chilled Foods

C£35-40,000 Basic + Benefits

Our Client produces a range of chilled foods products – rapidly expanding they offer unrivalled career opportunities for talented and committed employees

A vacancy has arisen for a Category Insight Manager to work directly with the Asda account.

Candidates will ideally know Asda and ideally  have worked on the account within the last 12 months. It would be ideal if candidates had some warm contacts within Asda as well, so that they already have some “currency” with the account. If candidates don’t have previous experience of Asda then our client will also consider candidates with experience of any Top 4 Grocery Multiple account or Waitrose, M&S or Co-op.

The objective of the role will be to supply Asda with category insight information.

Candidates need a minimum of 2 years category management experience. Candidates can be from pretty much any food category, however the following are ones that our client mentioned as examples of being good categories to draw from ; Ready meals, Pasta, Sauces, Soups, pizza, bakery, meat / poultry ( added value lines only )

The job is partly customer facing, so candidates will need to be comfortable with this. They will need to do presentations to the customer so will need good powerpoint and excel skills. Should also be able to work with things like insight data ( Kantar, Symphony IRI or Neilsen or similar )..

Candidates need to live commutable distance to our client’s Office in Lancashire

Please note that by responding to this advert you are giving permission to Houghton McKenzie Ltd to communicate with you about this role and any other roles we may handle that could be of interest to you.

DUE TO ANTICIPATED RESPONSE LEVELS WE SHALL ONLY BE ABLE TO CONTACT SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS. IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM US YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE DEEMED UNSUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION.
