Category Marketing Manager

Are you interested in the ever innovative bakery category?

You will be a category manager in food or fmcg who can create compelling stories to help drive sales.  You might be interested in this role because it offers the opportunity for man management or because there is lots of capacity for growth but with the security of established business, hopefully both these things are just the challenge you are looking for.

This business are established suppliers and partners to most of the major retailers but with expanding factory capabilities they are preparing for a further growth push in 2022.

They expect category insight to play a big part in their success so this is a pivotal role, they buy data from IRI and Nielsen and have a category assistant already. They do have an existing category manager who is moving on for a new challenge on good terms and leaving them in a good place but with lots of work and opportunities to challenge the new incoming manager.

There is also an element of trade marketing, brand marketing and agency management in this role but we do need category to be someone’s main skill set and passion as it will be 80% of the role.

The business have flexible working; this role is workable for someone in north England, Yorkshire, north east or north west.

Basic salary flexible + great benefits + bonus
