Join a well-established, customer-led retail business known for innovation, culture, and strong category growth. We’re seeking a driven and analytical Category Manager to take ownership of a key portfolio, shaping strategy, product performance, and supplier relationships.

About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Merchandise, you’ll be responsible for the full end-to-end category strategy — from product selection, pricing and promotions, through to range reviews, sales forecasting and supplier negotiation. You’ll partner closely with buying, marketing, and operations teams to bring compelling, customer-focused ranges to market.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and execute category strategy to drive sales, margin, and market share
  • Conduct range reviews and product performance analysis to optimise assortments
  • Build and maintain strong supplier relationships, managing negotiations and promotional planning
  • Collaborate on product development and private label opportunities
  • Use customer and market insights to influence decision-making

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in category management, buying or merchandise planning
  • A commercial mindset with strong analytical and negotiation skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • Experience in retail, pharmacy, FMCG or a consumer-led business preferred
  • Strong Excel and data literacy

Why Join?
You’ll be joining a passionate, high-performing team within a business that values innovation, autonomy, and continuous growth. If you love working with great people and are ready to take the next step in your retail career, we’d love to hear from you.
