West Yorkshire, United Kingdom PT Executive Full time
Job Description

The Client

Our client is one of the leading UK Food Businesses and are in high growth across the Categories they serve. Operating across mainly Own Label but with a developing Branded proposition, they have unquestionable appetite for success. Their 5 year plan is simple and yet immeasurably challenging, to transform the very way in which their Categories are “defined” and “shopped” by the retailer and consumer alike. The 2-3 year strategic goal is to succeed in the “elusive tightrope” of driving both Quantity & Value within their core offering, that will see their market dominance increase considerably.



The Role

As the Senior Category Manager you will be tasked with leading a Key Business Unit within the overall group.


  • Working cross functionally both internally and externally you will drive a strong growth agenda within your business unit that will play a significant part in maximising EBIT performance of the UK business as whole.
  • In order to achieve you will take ownership of driving a “change agenda” both internally and externally to the business.
  • You will assist in forming short-term goals- 12-18th Months, whilst long-term goals will be devised some 5 years into the future, hence the intellectual stretch you will experience will be unparalleled in your career to date.
  • Working at close quarters with the UK Category Director, Marketing Directors and respective Commercial Leaders, you will assist them in forming the “Commercial & Category Compass” for the business to set its course.
  • This role will be your building block to a 2-3 step career development curve with the business.



Candidate Requirements

Candidates will have ideally gained exposure to Category or Customer Marketing within one of two channels:

  • Leading FMCG Businesses (Either Own Label or Branded)

or

  • Working directly for a UK Retailer.


In doing so they will be at ease with operating in an intellectually stretching environment, where results are driven via a “Strategic” approach. Finally the role requires a real “can do” mentality alongside a creative flair for solution focused thinking inside an International corporate framework.
