Job Details

Operating as an autonomous division of a significant UK food manufacturer, our client has created an enviable reputation for delivering fantastic food products to consumers who are literally chomping them up.  As a result, the retailers have elevated the business to category partner and so to maintain these high standards the business requires a category manager to join their team.

As part of a wider team you will site across marketing and NPD to provide insights from market trends, consumer insights and pricing architectures along with commercial changes taking place across this fast paced and dynamic market.  To achieve this you will be working across multiple internal stakeholders in sales, NPD and Marketing whilst meeting with retailers on a weekly basis to develop new strategies for future growth.

You will be utilizing a variety of data sources such as Kantar, Neilson, Aimia and retail link.  This will enable you to identify not just market trends but future opportunities that can be capitalised through your interaction with retail customers on a face to face basis. 

With 5 years’ experience in a commercial category function this will provide an opportunity to develop your career through the groups training program which will lead to future promotion and development.

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

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.
