Category Management Support Manager

4 days ago

Nuneaton Warwickshire, United Kingdom Holland & Barrett Full time

This 12-month maternity cover is your chance to lead one of Holland & Barrett's most exciting categories and gain hands-on experience with high-impact product launches.
Beauty is in the middle of a major transformation - we've redefined it with an “inside-out” approach, combining high-performance skincare with ingestible supplements like collagen. It's paying off: recent store trials delivered a 7% uplift in beauty sales and introduced leading brands like Cetaphil, Aveeno, and Noughty.
In this role, you'll make sure that momentum continues - managing promotions so they drive sales, strengthening supplier relationships to sharpen your commercial skills, and supporting new launches that build your expertise in one of retail's fastest-growing categories.
You'll support the Category Manager for Beauty, which means you'll be right in the thick of it:
Helping deliver the category plan and ensuring it's implemented effectively.
Managing promotions and campaigns so they land on time and actually drive sales.
Keeping an eye on sales, margin, and stock so nothing falls through the cracks - because nothing kills a campaign faster than empty shelves.
Supporting new product launches and making sure the range looks sharp, relevant, and profitable.
Whether it's a stock issue, a pricing error, or a promotion that isn't pulling its weight, you'll flag it and fix it.
Promotions run smoothly and customers actually notice them.
The numbers make sense - sales, margin, and profitability are all heading in the right direction.
Experience in buying or category management - FMCG or retail would be ideal.
And you're not afraid of data - because you'll be using it every day to make decisions that matter.
