Category Insights Executive

If you enjoy turning numbers into stories and helping teams make smarter decisions, this could be the role for you.

We’re working with a successful food business that supplies leading UK retailers and foodservice customers with a wide range of products. They’re looking for someone to join their commercial team in a role that mixes data analysis, category insights, and customer support.

You’ll work closely with sales and marketing to provide insight-led analysis, support presentations, and carry out store audits to see how products are performing on the shelf. This role offers plenty of variety and gives you the chance to develop your skills in a supportive environment with real career progression.

What you’ll need:

• Experience in the food industry (or FMCG) is essential
• A head for numbers and confidence working with large data sets
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, analysis)
• Ideally, experience with data platforms such as Circana, Nielsen, or Kantar (but training can be given)
• A full UK driving licence for store visits
• An analytical mindset, good communication skills, and the confidence to share your findings
• Minimum 2:1 degree, preferably in a relevant data/numerical subject

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to build their experience in data and insights, while contributing directly to the success of a growing food business.
