Job Details
Catman Jobs are currently recruiting a Senior Category Manager for a reputable FMCG own label food group based in the East Midlands
The Business
This business operates across one of the most dynamic and consumer led categories within the UK. Consistent growth has been achieved through focused new product development initiatives led by exemplary customer, shopper and consumer understanding within their sector. As a result they now seek to appoint a Senior Category Manager who is capable of supporting their growth into the next generation of its development.
The Role
The successful Senior Category Manager will be responsible for strategically developing one of their fastest growing categories across the Top5 retailers. You will pick up a highly positive customer - supplier relationship and your remit will be to further develop the future of the category in conjunction with the retailer to ensure continued consumer buy-in over the next 5 years. Building a mutually beneficial retailer relationship is integral to our client’s success; as such you will be required to work closely with them to achieve a common goal.
The Individual
As a Senior Category Manager the individual will have developed their category expertise throughout a structured career which has had both NPD and commercial involvement. This will be a logical move for those already operating as a Senior Category Manager and wishing to extend their current experience into a more strategic arena or stepping up from Category Manager.
The Opportunity
Progression could come from within the team in the near future (dependant on your current capability and capacity to develop) or across the wider group to a position which will best stretch your skills for long term personal and career growth.
Catman Jobs specialise in Category Jobs, Trade Jobs, Customer 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.
