A manufacturing business in Derby is on the lookout for a Category Manager to join their team. You’ll be responsible for c. £30-40 million spend and have the chance to make genuine strategic contributions to your specific categories.
Your time will be split between the office and working from home, with typically 50% of the week spent in the office.
Day to day you’ll be responsible for:

We look forward to hearing from you.
