Job Details

Catman Jobs are currently recruiting a Category Manager for a private label food business based in the North West.

The Business

This business operates as a major chilled food producer and is a well known within its category. Through staying one step ahead of market trends and complete dedication to their customer base they maintain a strong presence across all retail channels. As a top competitor within their category, keeping one step ahead of the curve is vital to success.

The Role 

The client now seeks an up and coming category manager to take them forward and drive the category. You will work with the commercial managers to develop, implement and drive the category strategy to achieve the forecasted growth potential within each account. You will be involved in retailer presentations, data analysis, quantitative and qualitative analysis and creating an environment for category captains on a consultative basis.

The Individual

Ideally the successful candidate will already have a solid grounding in category analysis and data manipulation within an FMCG environment. Equally important is a driven can-do attitude and an analytical brain combined with the ability to liaise with key customers. Working under pressure and delivering exceptional insights into the category will be paramount, combined with the ability to present market trends and offer consultancy to key retailers.

The Opportunity 

The company are well recognised for a progressive culture where capability, hard work and working for the good of the business not the individual is rewarded. This will be a step on the ladder to allow you to forge a long term successful career within the group.

CatMan jobs specialise in Category Management jobs, Trade & Customer Marketing jobs, Shopper Marketing 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.
