Profil

With great tasting, 100% natural ingredient brands like nakd. and plant-based protein brands like TREK, this is your chance to make a real mark. You will need:

  • Experience at data analysis – not just pulling the numbers but telling the story behind them too.

  • Excellent communication skills, in particular presentation skills and story-telling.
  • Ability to build and develop great relationships as a trusted expert, both internally at NBF and with our buyers and merchandising contacts at retail customers.
  • Outcome focused, results driven.
  • Able to prioritise quickly in a fast moving, entrepreneurial environment.
  • Happy to roll sleeves up and get stuck in – we are a small category team and business at NBF and we need people who are happy to do everything from churning the data to developing the best way to do things to set ourselves up for future growth.

Other essential requirements for this Category Development Executive role:

  • Previous experience of working in FMCG, ideally in category management or insights, either supplier or agency side.
  • Experience using data providers like Circana, Kantar, Nielsen, Dunnhumby Shop and/or Nectar 360 SIP.
