Feeling stagnant in your current role with limited progression opportunities? Looking to make the move from agency-side to supplier-side? Then this role could unlock the Category career you''ve been looking for.

There are very few businesses within the Food sector like this one - a business with deep-rooted relationships with retailers, plus a newly created Category team providing real opportunity to those joining to position themselves as a crucial figure in this expanding strucutre.

You will support the Senior Commercial Team to deliver 3-year plans for revenue and margin growth. As well as supporting the essential step-change to a data and insight driven Manufacturing, focused on delivering actionable insights to customers.


Key responsibilities:

  • Identifying category and consumer trends - and turning them into actionable insight.

  • Supporting NPD and EPD plans with robust insight and commercial thinking.

  • Taking ownership of regular store visits and feeding back to the wider commercial and manufacturing teams.

  • Partnering with commercial leads to shape long-term category plans that deliver margin and revenue growth.

  • Influencing internal stakeholders and retail partners to back EBITDA-winning strategies.


Candidate Criteria:

  • 2+ years category / insight experience within the UK Food market.

  • Strong understanding of the relationship between Food Manufacturing, Retail, Category and Product Development.

  • A commercial head with the confidence to influence at all levels.

  • Analytical mindset with a passion for storytelling through data.

This business is in an exciting phase - evolving to a pro-active, insight-led retail supplier.

If you want to be part of that transformation and shape how a manufacturer works with its customers, this could be the one for you. Interested? Apply below.
