Job Details

Our client has an amazing story to tell

A US family owned business of over 30 years and part of a fiercely competitive sector in branded snacks.  

This business generates a healthy $1.5 billion sales.

They are relentless in their pursuit to win the hearts and minds of consumers and customers throughout the world.  

Following the acquisition of two of Europe’s recognised snack brands, worth in excess of €120m, a 30 strong team of experts in every commercial function has been built and based in Amsterdam.  

This is a newly created opportunity for a sharp minded and hugely ambitious Category professional to champion insights and activation for the UK and other European focused markets.
 
Reporting to the Marketing Director, your responsibilities will be twofold:

  • To champion the organisation’s status as a Category Leader through the implementation of a vision that will deliver a truly creative shopper engagement strategy in the UK and across a selection of European markets.  
  • To co-create a ‘new way of working’ mentality through the organisation that embraces category and shopper marketing development at the core of everything it does.

Ideally you’ll have a real depth in understanding category management principles, ideally combined with a working knowledge of shopper marketing and activation.  

You’ll demonstrate a strong bias for action and have the courage to make your opinions known at all times.  

At very least you’ll drive an infectious passion for your subject matter and deliver results that will get you noticed!
 
Enthusiasm won’t be enough on its own.  You will be judged on fast thinking delivery.

You’ll combine boundless energy, original ideas, solid yet highly innovative commercial category and shopper marketing understanding.  

Capable of changing attitudes and new thinking across the European business your priority will be the ground breaking design and implementation of category and shopper marketing strategy.
 
You’ll bring an instinct for insight and in-store creativity to this role.  

This is a fantastic, true European opportunity to work in a fascinating category enjoying double digit growth.  

This is a company at the start of an amazing journey.  It won’t stop at anything in its way.  

Progress, ambition, fast pace, free thinking and a cultural spirit based entirely on bringing the best out of its people is what you can expect.  

Freedom to succeed with a rich and rewarding career is the only way forward. 
 
If you think you have the sense of career adventure and knowledge for this, there is only one way to know for sure.  

Apply with your CV quoting reference SS1217 to response@simmance.co.uk or call Steve Simmance for a confidential discussion on 01753 856 103.
