A developmental role in a major Top UK food brand looking for a high potential category individual to be a future Senior Category Manager within the group. 

The Business

This UK division of a global food group has created a niche position within its market through innovation, development and acquisitions to create an offering that the retailers now actively seek to list on their shelves. Whilst the consumers value their current offering there is still much to be developed and grown across their market that will meet ever higher demands from a highly discerning consumer.  

The Role

To support this development and that of the longer term structure of the business, they now seek to appoint an individual with the potential to develop their career over the next few years.  This will provide an initial introduction to the grocery multiples supporting the Senior Category Manager across the top 4 Grocers with the intention of taking on full ownership of your own account base across smaller retailers. To develop your commercial and numerical ability and propel you in to Top 4 category management as soon as possible you will split your week between the office and the retailer to give you a comprehensive understanding of how ‘both sides’ work.  

The Individual

This recruitment will be integral to the groups focus upon recruiting core high potential individuals that are able to develop both within the division and group as a whole. You will be as happy operating within a strong team as you are an individual with the gravitas to impact across an organisation at all levels.

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.
