Category & Insights Manager | North West | 12 Month FTC | £50,000 + benefits
An iconic British FMCG brand is looking for a Category & Insights Manager to join its commercial team on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
This is a newly created role, which matters more than it sounds.
Nobody has left it behind with a fixed way of doing things, and the business has been clear that they'll shape it around whoever comes in and plays to their strengths.
You'd work directly with the Head of Category, finding distribution and whitespace opportunities across grocery, discounters and digital.
Deep dive category analysis, promotional analysis, shopper understanding using Dunnhumby and Nectar360, and real influence over commercial decisions rather than producing reports for someone else to act on.
It's a small, agile team, so expect genuine visibility and expect to get stuck in.
Who they're looking for
Category management, category analysis or insight experience in FMCG.
Strong analytically, commercially curious, and the sort of person who can't walk down a supermarket aisle without noticing what's going on.
They're open on level.
Whether you're stepping up from a Category Executive or Analyst role, already sitting as a Category Manager, or working agency or data side and looking to move client side, the conversation is worth having.
The detail
£50,000 base, plus circa £5,000 per annum car allowance and a 7% bonus. 25 days holiday plus your birthday off.
Private medical option.
North West based, three days a week in the office with core hours of 10 to 4, so you flex the rest of your day around them.
