  • Getting hands-on with merchandising, ranging, and promotion planning to optimise in-store and online performance.
  • Collaborating with internal stakeholders across commercial, technical, and development teams.

  • Proven experience in category management within an FMCG environment (manager level or equivalent).
  • Excellent understanding of shopper and market insight tools (Kantar, Dunnhumby, EPOS, etc.).
  • Experience working with UK retail customers, ideally including Tesco.
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills – you can turn data into clear, compelling strategies.
  • A naturally collaborative approach and a hands-on, “can-do” attitude.
