We’re excited to be recruiting for a newly created Category Analyst role, established as part of an evolving business strategy focused on unlocking the value of data, strengthening supplier partnerships, and supporting category growth across our food and beverage network.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work with rich data sets, shape how insights are used commercially, and play a key role in developing scalable, value‑added insight products for suppliers.

About the role
Reporting to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Category Analyst plays a key role in turning data into commercial impact. You’ll manage and enhance category and supplier data, deliver insightful performance reporting, and uncover opportunities to drive category growth.
This role sits at the intersection of data, analytics, and commercial strategy. You’ll structure and analyse data to support forecasting, reporting, and the development of insight-led products, working closely with internal teams, suppliers, and external partners to translate data into clear, actionable outcomes.
What you’ll be doing
You will strengthen our data foundations, ensuring product, supplier, and category data is accurate, consistent, and fit for purpose, while partnering across the business to continuously improve quality.

You will also support the growth of our data capability by contributing to our data lake and preparing high quality data assets that underpin insight products and strategic initiatives. Alongside this, you will develop and refine demand forecasts, identifying trends, seasonality, and key drivers.
A key part of the role will be using these insights to strengthen supplier partnerships. You will support joint planning, influence commercial decisions, and identify new opportunities to further leverage and commercialise our data and analytics capability.
