Your prospective employer:

…is a retailer to watch. In the highly contested tool category, they are tackling their market opponents “head-on” with exceptional breadth and quality of range and advice. Their results are phenomenal: tracking well above the market norm with double-digit organic sales growth and a continuing, national store rollout strategy. Momentum like this can only be driven and sustained by talented individuals working at every level of the business. An outstanding opportunity now presents for an Assistant Category Manager to join one of the business’s biggest engine rooms.

• Support your Category Manager acting as their ‘right hand,’ assisting them to deliver and execute their category plans. 
• Pull together range and sales data to facilitate the Category Manager’s decision making as part of the range review process.
• Be one of the key points of contact for supplier and store queries.
• Co-ordinate catalogue and planogram builds.
• Manage all administrative tasks including system product and pricing updates and maintenance. 

• Experience as an Assistant Category Manager, Buyer’s Assistant or related role within retail, product management or inventory management. 
• Either some experience within the Tools/Hardware categories or a passion for these types of products in your personal time.
• Ambition coupled with a “can-do” attitude. You are someone who wants to develop your career with a growing company, however, you understand that you need to “earn the right”.
• High attention to detail, accuracy and problem solving skills.
• Strong relationship building skills.
• Ability to multi-task and re-prioritise day-to-day priorities, within a dynamic fast paced retail environment. 
• Competence with MS Excel or the ability to quickly learn and pick-up new skills in this area.
