Job Details



Our client is a globally successful FMCG business with an instantly recognised brand in both retail and foodservice channels. To support their ambitious growth agenda a new Category and Insight role has been created.

Reporting to the Category Marketing Manager the Category and Insight analyst will provide commercial support in the form of actionable recommendations based on sound market and competitor insight. This role will help to shape the short and long term strategy by providing category segment data analysis for selected retail customers. The Category and Insight analyst will help to identify current and future dynamics and trends, measuring their impact and sharing these insights with the commercial team. You will use you insight expertise to create a suite of reports from continuous data sets such as EPOS, IRI, Nielsen, dunnhumby and Retail Link.

The ideal candidate will possess at least three years analytical experience, ideally gained in an FMCG environment, within a closely related role such as Category Management, Insight or National Accounts. Candidates from a research or insight agency or with grocery retail experience are also of interest. Excellent communication skills are as important as commercial awareness as you will be working cross functionally, influencing your sales and marketing colleagues.

Company

With an enviable client list of blue chip FMCG businesses, Better Placed focuses on the recruitment of Sales and Marketing professionals across the UK. Working from offices in Leeds and Manchester, our team of highly experienced Consultants have built relationships with a wide range of companies in the North West, Yorkshire and the Midlands as well as elsewhere in the UK.

In many cases we are preferred supplier to these businesses operating on an exclusive basis. We operate at all levels from graduate through to Director and our team are widely acknowledged as specialists in their chosen vertical markets.At Better Placed we focus on our candidates as much as our clients and we understand that failure to do so will slow the rapid growth that we have seen since our inception in 2002. Our track record of maintaining long term relationships with both candidates and clients is testament to how seriously we take this and is a fundamental part of what we stand for.
