CATEGORY MANAGER

This is a brilliant opportunity for an ambitious Category Executive, Category Analyst, Commercial Executive or early-stage Category Manager who is ready to take ownership, build confidence, influence customers and shape category thinking for a fast-growing FMCG brand with big ambition and a seriously fun culture.

The opportunity

This is not a “sit quietly in the corner and churn out data” kind of role.

You’ll be trusted to get close to the numbers, understand the shopper, spot the opportunities and turn insight into action.

You’ll work with brilliant people, have access to real commercial conversations, and play a key role in building category plans that work for the retailer, the shopper and the brand.

You’ll be supported, stretched and given space to grow.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll help shape category growth by:

• Turning data into clear, commercial recommendations
• Spotting shopper, market and retailer trends
• Supporting range, distribution, merchandising and promotional plans
• Building compelling category stories for customers
• Supporting NPD, category reviews and customer presentations
• Working closely with sales, marketing and commercial teams
• Becoming a trusted category voice internally and externally
• Taking ownership and learning quickly as the role grows with you

What we’re looking for

You do not need to be the complete package.

You do need to bring energy, curiosity, commercial instinct and the confidence to keep learning.

We’d love to hear from people with experience in:

• Category, insight, sales, commercial or shopper roles within FMCG
• Using data to tell clear, persuasive stories
• Understanding retailer priorities and shopper behaviour
• Building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders
• Presenting ideas with confidence and clarity
• Working at pace, staying hands-on and making things happen

Experience using tools such as Kantar, Nielsen or Circana/IRI would be a real plus, but attitude, appetite and potential matter just as much.

Don’t tick every box?

Good.

This role is designed for someone with room to grow.

If you’ve been building strong category, insight or commercial experience and feel ready for more accountability, more exposure and a bigger opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.

Why join?

Because this is a business with momentum, personality and ambition.

Ideas move quickly. People back each other. Good thinking gets noticed. And fun is very much part of the culture.

You’ll join a brand where you can make an impact, learn fast, take ownership and enjoy the ride.

Stay curious. Be real. Keep going. Do the right thing. Have fun doing it.
