Ambitious Senior Category Manager – Homebased with 2 days a week in central London  

Exciting rapid growth SME seeks to appoint experienced highly driven Senior Category Manager with a “can do” attitude within the fast paced Health and wellbeing sector.  

Do you want to be part of a business that is going places?  

The health conscious consumer seeking the healthy life style simply cannot get enough of the tasty food portfolio of products.   

Our on trend client already has successfully created an enviable reputation for manufacturing fantastically healthy food products only using the best natural ingredients.  

The products are already stocked on the shelves of major retailers throughout the UK, within the next 9 months the client is aiming to expand into the International export market.  

The business has a work hard play hard attitude. The challenges presented by the rapid growth of the business will be rewarded, giving autonomy and freedom in areas you would not experience from a large blue chip organisation.  

It will not be long before our client is marching shoulder to shoulder with the big players.  

Reporting to the Head of Category, this exciting new role requires the ability to continue to raise the business’s profile within the industry. To achieve this, you will be working across multiple internal stakeholders in sales, NPD and marketing.
 
You will be utilizing a variety of data sources such as IRI, Kantar, Dunnhumby, Nectar 360 amongst others.  This will enable you to identify not just market trends but future opportunities that can be capitalised through your interaction. Meeting with multiple retailers on a weekly basis creating the category vision to develop new strategies for future business growth. Cutting through the data and give the retailers the clarity they want to hear.  

Hence why a dynamic “role your sleeves up” attitude is required along with solid FMCG commercial Category function skill set to enable you to hit the ground running. A high degree of organisational and communication skills are essential.  

Interested?  Forward an updated cv and salary details to Paul Nyman Consultancy who are managing the project exclusively and will be conducting initial interviews for the client through on line interviews over the next month.  

Paul Nyman Consultancy specialise in FMCG Sales, Marketing, NPD & Category Recruitment 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.
