Job Details

Catman Jobs are currently recruiting a Category Manager for a medium sized division of food group with impressive category credentials in the East Midlands.

The Business 

Our client has the growing niche appeal of ‘good’ products and the flexibility to out manoeuvre the market by providing a value-add through its clever marketing and innovation initiatives. As a result they have achieved growth ahead of the competition in many of their categories and are on target to double the size of their business over the next 3 years.

As targeted marketing spend sparks consumer interest further the team are looking forward to seeing the brand portfolio develop and the business prosper.

Growth however does not come without its challenges and as a result they have caught the eye of the retailers who are ‘turning the screw’ commercially as presence on shelf increases. Despite their comparative size the category team have achieved captaincy across several major retailers and are the focal point of the relationship between the business and supplier.

The Role 

As a result of up skilling of the category team within the business the team are now looking for a category manager who has shown clear ability to operate in an expanding team with the attributes to progress at pace. Your level of experience will come secondarily to the ‘fit’ within a politics free team who look out for each other and have a strong focus on doing things the right way.

The Person 

You could be a Junior Category Manager with a robust understanding of category data and the confidence to interface with the retailer and the potential to progress quickly. Equally you could already be an experienced category manager looking for an environment where you could reach the next level within 18 months. 

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.
