TCCD Category Manager

Show

We're hiring an Analyst/Sales professional to join a small, high-performing team managing a tier one brand portfolio across Australia's independent grocery channel. This is a 4-day role — deliberately designed to match the workload, not squeezed from 5.

What You'll Do

You'll be paired with a senior account manager (NAM or NBM) and work across the same categories they own. Your role has two sides:

Own Your Accounts

  • Manage Foodworks and SPAR end-to-end — buyer relationships, promotional programs, trade spend, distribution, and in-store execution
  • Communicate ranging outcomes from Metcash to your downstream accounts
  • Build and manage promo grids and customer systems

Drive the Analytics

  • Produce monthly Promo ROI analysis — actual vs. expected, baseline impact, rate of sale
  • Run pre-promo analysis: expected uplift, margin impact, cannibalisation risk
  • Support range reviews with scan performance data (Circana/IRI)
  • Prepare field briefing materials and cycle priorities

This is not a back-office data role. You own customers, you own outcomes, and you produce the analytics that drive commercial decisions for a $40M portfolio.

What We're Looking For

  • 1–2 years in FMCG — sales, category, or analytics
  • Excel intermediate+ and experience with Circana/IRI or equivalent scan data (preferred)
  • Understanding of promotional mechanics, ranging, and trade spend
  • Commercially minded — you think in terms of margin, ROI, and outcomes
  • Self-sufficient — you manage your workload with discipline and minimal supervision
  • Clear communicator — you translate data into action

Why TCCD?

  • 4-day week — structured to match the workload, not compressed from 5
  • $80,000 package inclusive of superannuation
  • Tier-1 brands — world-class commercial development and credibility
  • Real commercial ownership — you own accounts and categories, not just reports
  • Flat structure — direct access to the CEO, NBM, and senior leadership. Your ideas are heard, your contributions are visible, your impact is measurable
  • Mentoring, not managing — leadership with 100+ years of combined FMCG experience is accessible and invested in your growth
  • PURPLE values — Partnership, Unity, Respect, Positivity, Laughter, Excellence. These aren't on a poster — they're in our quarterly awards, our daily conversations, and the way we work
  • Walsh Bay offices — daily barista, breakfast, and end-of-trip facilities
  • Career progression — Analyst/Sales → KAM → NAM. Clear pathway for people who want to grow
  • Initiative is recognised, not just tolerated — through PURPLE Awards, direct leadership feedback, and visible impact on the business

Who This Role Suits

This role is designed for someone who specifically values a 4-day structure:

  • A returning professional who has the commercial maturity from a previous FMCG career and wants meaningful work without a 5-day grind
  • A postgrad student or portfolio builder who wants real commercial ownership while keeping a day for study or development
  • An experienced operator who wants to stay in the game with more balance
  • A career mover from retail buying, supply chain, or marketing analytics who wants to step into FMCG sales with a structured mentoring model
