Our client offers Australia’s only proprietary benchmarking system that delivers a deep, systematic understanding of shopper behaviour across categories, segments, and brands.
  
This powerful platform informs category vision, strategy, and tactical decision-making for more than 50 leading manufacturers and retailers across grocery, pharma, and liquor - many with billion-dollar turnovers.
  
We’re seeking a Category Insights Manager who thrives on turning complex data into clear, commercially impactful stories - someone who enjoys working closely with senior FMCG and retail stakeholders and pushing insights into action.
  
The Role
  
You’ll manage a portfolio of major FMCG clients, partnering with them to unlock shopper-led growth opportunities. This is a hands-on insights role combining data analysis, storytelling, and client leadership.
  
Key responsibilities include:

• Managing and growing relationships with major FMCG clients

• Interrogating shopper survey data across syndicated and bespoke projects
• Identifying critical insights to inform category strategy and planning

• Facilitating engaging workshops with manufacturers and retailers to activate insights
• Developing your profile as a category and shopper insights specialist

 Why Join?

• Access to a rich, proprietary shopper and category data set
• Exposure to senior decision-makers at leading FMCG manufacturers and retailers
• Varied, commercially fascinating briefs (e.g. premiumisation, promotion strategy, range and layout decisions, shopper missions)
• Flexible working arrangements with just one mandatory office day per week
• Excellent training and mentorship from a highly skilled insights leader and team
• Strong agency credentials and a broad professional network

About You

You’ll bring:

• Experience in FMCG, retail, or pharma (highly desirable)
• Exposure to shopper or category research, or broader market research/data intelligence roles
