Are you a Category Manager ready to step into a role where you can truly shape the future direction of a category, not just report on it?
I’m currently partnered with a high-growth, internationally backed FMCG business operating within the chilled and Dairy space. They’ve built a strong presence across grocery, convenience (including Co-op), and wholesale channels, with well-established listings and customer relationships already in place.
Now, they’re entering an exciting new phase of growth, and this role will be central to that journey. This isn’t a "keep things ticking" category role. It’s an opportunity to define and deliver a new category vision, working closely with both internal teams and external customers to unlock the next stage of growth.
