Job Details
Catman Jobs are currently recruiting a Category Controller for a branded ambient business commutable from London and the Home Counties.
Develop an inspired long term category strategy through the effective management and leadership of a talented team.
The Business
The group has grown its offering in the UK via the eclectic mix of hiring fantastically talented and ambitious individuals with a clearly defined focus and strategy that EVERYONE is aligned to.
This has been achieved in part through the creation of a culture that runs into and throughout every function of the business. Such focus has enabled an environment of autonomy and freedom which has allowed the team to thrive, develop and grow over the last 2 years.
The Role
As part of their continued UK growth program, the business now seeks to appoint an individual of exceptional caliber able to manage a team from analyst to Senior Category Manager level. The category strategy is ever evolving so although it will not be 'blank canvass' you will be tasked with the continuous development and evolution of this to stay on top of ever changing macro shopper trends.
The Individual
You will be as adept managing strategic objective setting as you are directing a broad team of category manager's to create and deliver retail based solutions that will grow share and value.
The Opportunity
This will be a starting point within the group for you, providing the platform to establish yourself within the wider international business. To achieve this you will ideally posses strong category exposure within your career along with the communication skills that will enable you to lead both internally and externally.
Catman Jobs specialise in Category, Trade, Customer, Shopper marketing 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.
