Job Details

Catman Jobs are recruiting a Junior Category Manager for a branded food business in the North West. 

The Business 

A fast growing brand is currently seeking to build its category function to build a deeper level of understanding of their customers and consumers. Through years of investment in their products and their teams they have achieved a strong position which has enabled them to drive category growth. They are now seeking to appoint a Junior Category Manager capable of development and progression throughout the business.  

The Role

The individual will have a remit of providing detailed category insights, assisting on promotional plans and range reviews, and challenging the team to realise new ideas. Showing an understanding of the distinction between customer and consumer insight will be crucial. However, the importance is not merely based on experience. A drive to learn, an attitude to progress, and the ability to acquire skills and knowledge quickly will determine where you go within the business.  

The Individual

With a background in the FMCG industry, you will be looking to join a growing business with progressive opportunities. You will be committed to working in a dynamic environment and eager to acquire more responsibilities. This is an opportunity to push yourself in an exciting category which will present new challenges more often than you can imagine.  

Catman Jobs specialise in Category, Trade, Customer, Shopper marketing, merchandising 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.
