Job Details

Catman Jobs are working with a well-recognised branded non-food group to recruit a Category Strategy Manager. 

The Business

Operating as an autonomous division, as part of a larger branded non-food group, this business has grown exponentially over the last three decades to achieve leadership status that their competitors aspire to.

Leveraging their brand heritage along with a history of innovation they are looking to further develop and grow their category through a renewed strategic approach, this will be achieved through appointment of a Category Strategy Manager.

The Role

To achieve their objective of market leadership the senior team now wish to appoint an individual with exposure to category, commercial and brand aspects of the FMCG market capable of leveraging internal relationships across these functions to develop and execute long term category strategy and vision.

The Person

Your eclectic mix of skills, along with passion enthusiasm and vision will enable you, along with the support of the team to create, develop and execute a strategic plan within the category which you will create yourself, consisting of all elements of the brand and category mix.

Ideally you will have commercial experience not only from the retailer sided point of view but from the development and design side also.  

Catman Jobs specialise in Category Jobs, Trade Marketing Jobs, Customer Marketing Jobs, Shopper marketing Jobs, Merchandising 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.
