This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of some of the sector's most exciting brands and drive their market presence to new heights.
The Role

Key responsibilities include:
Defining the strategic roadmap for exclusive brands within the portfolio.
Identifying and capitalising on market opportunities to grow share.
Collaborating with commercial, sales, and marketing teams to ensure execution of strategy.
Monitoring category performance and making data-driven decisions to accelerate growth.
Acting as the internal champion for exclusive brands, ensuring alignment across the business.
About You
We're looking for a commercially astute, highly motivated individual who thrives in an autonomous environment. You'll bring:
Proven experience in category management, brand management, or a strategic commercial role.
Strong understanding of how to grow and position brands within competitive markets.
Exceptional analytical and strategic thinking skills.
The confidence to make bold decisions and influence stakeholders.
A passion for driving growth and shaping the future of a category.
