c.£55,000 + 20% Bonus + benefits package
Talent Drive are supporting a leading food service business who are looking for a commercially minded Category Manager to take ownership of its Dairy category, joining a fast paced and highly collaborative procurement team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strategic category management, supplier negotiations and stakeholder engagement to drive real commercial impact across a significant spend portfolio.
You do not necessarily need to be a Dairy specialist. The client are interested in strong category professionals from Food, FMCG, Retail, Foodservice or similarly fast paced environments who can bring the right commercial mindset and category management capability.
What we're looking for:
Strong strategic category management experience
Proven supplier negotiation and commercial skills
Ability to analyse data and turn insight into category strategy
Confident presenting and influencing stakeholders
Strong Excel / analytical capability
A proactive, engaging and collaborative personality
You will also have responsibility for managing and developing a Buyer, so this is a great next step for someone looking to broaden their leadership experience alongside owning a key category.
The team itself is young, sociable and commercially driven, so this will particularly suit someone who enjoys working collaboratively, brings energy to the role and is comfortable operating in a fast moving environment.
Interested? Drop me a message or apply to find out more.
