Job Details
Catman Jobs are recruiting a Senior Category Manager for a major food business in the Yorkshire area.
The Business
A UK food brand operating at the forefront of their ambient consumer focused category. With a massive growth agenda and future domination of the category within the retailers at the head of their strategy, this dynamic and commercially savvy FMCG business is now looking to complement their team with the appointment of a Senior Category Manager.
The Role
They require a ‘big hitting’ category manager to further develop their strategic category insights and consumer understanding. Your ability to influence category direction through commercial and category rationale along with developing a strategic customer relationship is pivotal to the success of this role.
The Individual
Your previous exposure to creating category plans and vision from the building blocks of EPOS, Neilson and Kantar, will be the foundations of your success in this role. Such practical skills will be supported with personal drive and ambition to develop new and retain existing category captaincies across the major retailers.
You must have shown clear growth and vertical development within your career to date with the ambition to progress further within a highly people focused but commercially driven environment.
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.
