Analyse market, retailer and shopper data to generate actionable insights for Sales, Marketing and NPD teams.
Support innovation pipeline development through category and consumer understanding.
Monitor competitor activity, market trends and emerging opportunities.
Develop compelling category stories and recommendations that drive customer action and commercial results.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with Sales, Marketing, NPD, Channel Marketing, Commercial Strategy and Demand Planning teams to align category priorities and deliver business objectives.
Act as the category expert within the organisation, providing guidance and support across multiple stakeholders.

About You

You'll be a highly collaborative and influential category professional with a passion for turning insight into action.

Essential Experience

Minimum 3 years' experience in a Category Management role within the FMCG food industry.
Strong understanding of category management principles, shopper behaviour and retailer strategies.
Experience working with major UK grocery retailers, with knowledge of Asda considered particularly valuable.
Proven track record of influencing customers and delivering category growth.
Strong analytical and commercial skills with advanced Excel capability.

Desirable Experience

Skills & Attributes

Exceptional communication, presentation and storytelling skills.
Strong stakeholder management and influencing ability.
Commercially astute with excellent attention to detail.
Strategic thinker with the ability to balance long-term category development and short-term commercial delivery.
Able to build credible, trusted relationships internally and externally.
Self-motivated, proactive and comfortable working independently within a remote environment.

What's Important in This Role?

Success in this position comes from combining objective, data-driven category thinking with a clear focus on delivering commercial results. You'll be expected to create compelling narratives from complex data, influence customer decision-making and help shape category strategies that drive sustainable growth.

Additional Information
