CATEGORY MANAGER
Watching. Waiting. Winning.
Ready to turn insight into action and help shape a category that shoppers genuinely love? We’re looking for a commercially curious, insight-driven Category Manager to join a fast‑growing FMCG brand with big ambition, bold energy, and a seriously fun culture.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a Category Manager — or for a talented Category Executive / Category Analyst / Commercial Executive who’s ready to take the next step into a full Category Manager role. If you love spotting trends, building compelling stories from data, influencing customers, and making things happen, this could be the role for you.
What you’ll be doing
As Category Manager, you’ll play a key role in building category strategies that create a win for the retailer, the shopper, and the brand. You’ll turn data into clear, compelling recommendations, partner closely with customers and internal teams, and help deliver plans that drive growth in all the right ways.
* Driving category growth strategies
* Turning data into clear action
* Spotting trends and unlocking opportunities
* Shaping range, distribution, merchandising, and promotions
* Supporting NPD and category reviews
* Building selling stories that win with customers
* Being the trusted category voice inside and out
What we’re looking for
* Experience in category, insights, commercial, or sales strategy within FMCG
* Confidence using data to build stories that drive action
* Strong commercial instinct and a solid understanding of retailer priorities
* Great communication skills, with the ability to influence and present with impact
* A proactive, hands‑on approach and the agility to thrive in a fast‑paced environment
* Strong relationship‑building skills and credibility with stakeholders
* Curiosity, drive and a genuine appetite to learn
Experience using tools such as Kantar, Nielsen or Circana/IRI would be a real plus.
Don’t tick every box? That’s okay. If you’ve been building strong category or commercial experience and feel ready to step up into a Category Manager role, we’d be excited to hear from you. This role is as much about mindset, potential and commercial sharpness as it is about job title.
Why join?
Because this is a business where ideas move fast, people back each other, and commercial thinking really matters. It’s a place for people who want to do brilliant work, grow quickly, and enjoy the ride along the way.
Stay curious. Be real. Keep going. Do the right thing. Have fun doing it.
