Category Manager – Dairy
Surrey HQ – Hybrid, 2 days per week
c.£55,000 + 20% Bonus + benefits package
Talent Drive are supporting a leading food service business who are looking for a commercially minded Category Manager to take ownership of its Dairy category, joining a fast paced and highly collaborative procurement team.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strategic category management, supplier negotiations and stakeholder engagement to drive real commercial impact across a significant spend portfolio.
You do not necessarily need to be a Dairy specialist. The client are interested in strong category professionals from Food, FMCG, Retail, Foodservice or similarly fast paced environments who can bring the right commercial mindset and category management capability.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for:
- Strong strategic category management experience
- Proven supplier negotiation and commercial skills
- Ability to analyse data and turn insight into category strategy
- Confident presenting and influencing stakeholders
- Strong Excel / analytical capability
- A proactive, engaging and collaborative personality
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will also have responsibility for managing and developing a Buyer, so this is a great next step for someone looking to broaden their leadership experience alongside owning a key category.
The team itself is young, sociable and commercially driven, so this will particularly suit someone who enjoys working collaboratively, brings energy to the role and is comfortable operating in a fast moving environment.
