The Business
A leading manufacturer based near Manchester who have built their name on delivering quality own-label alternatives to branded household and personal care products. Innovation is key to this business’s strategy, ensuring their customers get better products and consumers can enjoy great performance and value. Working closely with the UK’s most successful retailers they are committed to grow the private label category whilst maintaining high standards of quality.
The Opportunity
As a business heavily invested in own-label products a thorough knowledge of the market and the costings behind each decision that is made is vital. This thorough knowledge of the market is one of the reasons this business has thrived and seeks to continue this growth by further expanding upon its proven business model.
As a result they are looking for a Business Analyst to join their existing Business Insight and Finance team. Supporting the Business Analyst Manager, you will provide analysis of business performance for the “region” to support the delivery of effective business partnering. The role will also entail bringing challenge and rigour to commercial forecasts to ensure budgets are in line with planned timetables.
The Individual
To be successful in this role you must have excellent influencing skills and persuasive ability to develop analysis with people even when they are not a direct report or team member. On top of that you must possess excellent analytical skills with a high level of attention to detail. You must also be a strong team player with the ability to present data in a meaningful and understandable manner.
A detailed working knowledge of SAP is also essential along with being a proficient user of excel.
You must be driven and looking to progress with understanding of commercial analysis within a commercial and manufacturing environment. Experience of commercial finance within an FMCG environment is preferred but not essential.

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.
