Job Details

Looking for a business that values its people and will progress you beyond your comfort zone?

Jordans Dorset Ryvita recognises that great tasting products, respected brands and significant advertising investment alone will not revolutionise the market in the retailer. It will be achieved in part through the continued development of their category and shopper marketing function that will transform the customer – shopper –consumer dynamic.

As the Category lead for Ryvita you will be responsible for driving a market leading category growth agenda across all major strategic retail partners. The internal creation of a Category Strategy team has allowed this Category role to be truly externally facing and you will be encouraged to maximise your external customer interaction.

As part of the category team you will be tasked with delivering sustainable retailer and shopper category and activation solutions. Based on overall brand strategy, you will develop and implement retailer specific plans to bring the brand plan to life in-store, driving a unified brand message to the consumer to encourage increased trial, spend and ultimately profitability.

You will work closely with retail partners to maximise the successful activation of New Product Development programs. From the initial concept identified through targeted consumer insight to in-store merchandising and marketing initiatives to increase NPD success. Through the integration of consumer marketing, trade marketing and analysis of promotional activity you will align brand and category strategies into profitable consumer focused growth solutions.

Experience and prior training are always important but just as crucial will be your attitude, passion, values, desire and willingness to be consistently pushed to progress at pace. These values will be showcased through your loyalty and commitment in previous roles. You will have longevity on your CV and have clearly shown an ability to progress internally.

You will join a team of people with the desire to challenge the norm and push each other to be better at what they do and therefore will have the potential to develop in Category, Sales or Marketing to a Controller Level with further development.

Looking for a business that values its people and will progress you beyond your comfort zone?.... let us know by clicking apply and sending your CV through to our recruitment partners at Paul Nyman Consultancy.

Catman Jobs specialise in Category, Trade, Customer, Shopper marketing, merchandising and insight 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.
