Big growth. Big brands. Big energy.
This is YOUR opportunity to join one of Australia’s most exciting consumer retail businesses — fast-moving, high-growth and completely customer obsessed. With hundreds of stores nationally, they have a huge focus on beauty, health services, wellness and customer experience. This is a national organisation where trends move quickly, categories evolve constantly and careers can seriously take off.

And the category? Skincare…and its one of the retailer’s strongest-performing categories — delivering double-digit growth, driving front-of-store performance and constantly evolving with new brands, new trends and endless consumer demand.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Work in one of the most exciting growth categories in retail
• Huge exposure to suppliers, major brands and cross-functional teams
• Broad involvement across promotions, pricing, retail media and category activity
• Fast-paced environment where no two days are the same
• Genuine career pathway toward Category Management
• Join a business that is growing, evolving and winning market share
• Hybrid working with minimum 2 days in office

What You’ll Be Doing:
This is not a quiet, sit-back kind of Assistant Category Manager role. You’ll be right in the middle of a busy, high-volume category — helping coordinate promotions, pricing, supplier activity, category administration and commercial execution across the skincare portfolio.
One minute you’re proofing catalogue activity…the next you’re managing pricing updates, reviewing supplier submissions, analysing category performance and/or coordinating campaign activity with marketing and retail media teams.
  
You’ll support the Category Manager across:

• Promotional and campaign execution
• Pricing, product maintenance and promotional coordination
• Supplier communications and relationship management
• Category reporting, competitor analysis and sales insights
• Promotional forecasting and campaign support
• Retail media and branded activity
• Category administration and data accuracy
• Cross-functional stakeholder coordination
• Multiple projects, deadlines and competing priorities

About You:
You’re commercially switched-on, highly organised and love operating in busy retail environments where pace is everything.

You could currently be:

• An Assistant Category Manager in Pharmacy, Beauty, FMCG, Grocery, Hardware or another fast-paced, high-volume retail environment
• Or in another retail support office function….and ready to step up (or across) into this role

Most importantly, you:

• Love pace, variety and juggling priorities
• Are highly organised and detail obsessed
• Have strong numerical and analytical capability
• You are a Wizz at excel especially in V-Look Ups & Pivot Tables
• Enjoy building supplier and stakeholder relationships
• Thrive in deadline-driven environments
• Are proactive, resilient and solutions-focused
• Get excited by consumer trends and fast-moving retail categories

This is a role for someone who wants exposure, pace and growth. A role where you’ll learn fast, build commercial capability and work in one of retail’s most exciting categories.

Why This Role Stands Out:
This isn’t a slow-moving corporate role. It’s fast, it’s commercial and it’s highly collaborative. For the right person, this is an opportunity to accelerate your retail career in a business with serious momentum.
