What makes this a great opportunity?

United by Suntory’s Yatte Minahare spirit, the permission to dream big and the determination to make it a reality, we’re embarking on a new chapter of growth, as we partner with Suntory Beverage & Foods Oceania to create Suntory Oceania, a new multi-beverage powerhouse across Australia and New Zealand. Underpinned by our diverse talent, market-leading brands, quality craftsmanship and a strong sense of purpose as partners we will create Oceania’s fourth largest beverage player with over $3bn in retail sales.

With an inspiring growth trajectory ahead, there has never been a better time to join the Suntory family. From July 2025, we will own local manufacturing, sales, and distribution for our full portfolio of alcohol and non-alcohol beverages.

This role is designed to create the link between Beam Suntory & customers to continuously identify mid-long term category growth opportunities and the roles our alcohol portfolio plays within it. This is achieved through an in-depth understanding of the category; the customers role within it and their category strategy and priorities while working closely with Marketing, Innovation, Sales, Insights, Perfect Store and the RGM team.

The Group Category Manager will lead the agency relationships across Australia and NZ, including Quantium, Circana, Nielsen, Summit, Invigor and Real World Marketing.
