You will play a key role in managing day-to-day category administration, supplier communications, systems maintenance, and reporting, helping the team respond quickly to changing customer and market demands.

This is a fast-paced role requiring exceptional organisation, attention to detail, strong communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.

You'll also possess a problem-solving mindset, taking ownership of challenges and responding quickly to changing priorities.

Ideally, you'll have previous experience within a retail, buying, trading or FMCG environment, with an understanding of category management.
