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.

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.
