- Reviewing sales performance to understand key sales, profit and margin drivers.
- Communicating with suppliers to negotiate best pricing to achieve target margins and deliver commercial and competitive product ranges. Attend supplier meetings where necessary to source and develop new products in line with category plans.
- Work closely with CRTPL and their Merchandising Team to ensure orders are processed accurately and products are delivered on time.
- Understanding competitors and market leaders reviewing competitor propositions on a regular basis and feedback any relevant points, proposing opportunities for product development.
- Create and implement strategic category plans to maximise sales and ensure category growth for your product areas.
- Driving strong relationships with internal teams to deliver category objectives.
- Become a category expert, continually developing your knowledge of your products areas and the wider business.
