Category Manager

A Category Manager oversees the development and performance of specific product categories within a company. You might work in retail, manufacturing, or another sector where managing product ranges is crucial. Category Managers focus on analysing market trends, optimising product selection, and driving sales growth. You’ll collaborate with suppliers, conduct market research, and develop strategies to enhance category performance and profitability.

Category Managers play a vital role in the success of the business. You’ll need to be analytical and strategic, with strong negotiation and communication skills. You’ll liaise with internal teams and external partners to ensure your category achieves its objectives and aligns with overall business goals.
