Job Details

Catman jobs is looking to recruit a Junior Category Manager for an expanding business based in East Yorkshire. 

The Business 

Operating as an autonomous business within a well known UK Group, this FMCG business is expanding due to phenomenal success within the category, due to strong product development and commercial management. The business now seeks a junior category manager, responsible for accounts with the Top 5 retailers. 

The Role

The individual will initially take responsibility for some of the smaller accounts within the portfolio and in time develop experience across all of the major multiples. To fulfil this role, the individual will be required to provide thorough category insights and relay that information effectively to customers. It is essential the individual can distinguish between customer, consumer and shopper insights to produce effective findings. 

The Person

With a background in FMCG category management to an executive/assistant/analyst level, preferably within a food environment, you will be looking to take a step up from your current role and will be keen to see what difference you can make within the business. You will want your insights to be heard and implemented and will have the tenacity and drive to see this happen. 

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.
