Description

Catrgory Manager | Watford | Up To £55,000
Category Manager / Senior Buyer
12-month Fixed Term Contract
Hybrid working (2 or 3 days per week at home)
Basic salary up to £55,000
Bonus potential + company benefits

A fantastic opportunity has arisen to cover a 12-month fixed term contract within a multi-channel Home Improvement retailer as a Category Manager.

You will cover a broad range of consumer products for a high profile and trend led category.


You'll be a key part of the decision-making process, and therefore expected to bring your out of the box thinking to help shape and influence the direction of the business.

The role encompasses all aspects of Category Management & Buying where responsibilities within the role are varied and include sourcing the right range of products from current and new suppliers through to the pricing and promotion to maximise consumer appeal

About You...

  • You will be a proven Category Manager, Buyer or Range Manager ideally with experience in DIY/Home/Garden categories but other transferable sectors will be considered
  • A commercial mindset, extensive experience in understanding consumer needs and a broad knowledge of marketing and sales principles.
  • Taking accountability and ownership for all aspects of the category you will have previous experience of successfully delivering in a category management or buying role, ideally with experience in a multichannel environment.
  • A curious and natural approach to solving problems alongside the drive and enthusiasm to achieve commercial targets and to maximise our commercial success.


Don't worry if you do not have specific category experience within the DIY/Trade or Home Improvement sector, and whilst retail experience would be a benefit, this is also not essential - it is those core skills in buying and category management that we arelooking for coupled with the drive and ambition to make a difference.
