Job Details

Catman Jobs are currently recruiting a Senior Category Manager for a Branded FMCG business in the Home Counties commutable from London.  

The Business

Over the last decade our client has created a reputation for creating category leadership within its category through innovation and a dogged desire to lead their customer towards greater success by increasing their interaction and appeal with the consumer. 

The Individual

Through consistently pushing the boundary of success they recognise that the next decade will be transformed through aligning their core manufacturing and NPD capabilities with the vision of the category as a whole.  As a result they seek to appoint a senior category manager to their existing category team who will be able to upscale the day to day category delivery platform though identifying and establishing a long term vision for the next five years. 

The Opportunity

To be successful within this role you will have operated within a food environment, ideally chilled and been involved in creating category strategies that extend beyond just the day to day but encompass all aspects of the commercial, marketing and NPD operations.  Your understanding of these additional areas will be critical to the success that you create in a business that will reward you with challenge, personal growth and the opportunity to engage at the senior leadership table. 

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.
