This role is a rare opportunity for those in Category to take their career to new heights!

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 structure.

Key responsibilities:

• Identifying category and consumer trends – and turning them into actionable insight.
• Leading category reviews and trade marketing proposals that deliver real value.
• Using data (Kantar, IGD, Circana and more) to build weekly/monthly reports that inform both internal and customer strategies.
• 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:

• 3+ years category / insight experience within the UK Food market – retail focus.
• 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.
