The company

A leading wholesale distribution company is seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented Category Coordinator. This is a 6-month contract role based in Sydney. The role supports the IBA Category Managers in developing and managing promotional programs, making a significant impact on independent businesses.

This is a fast-paced, administrative-heavy position, with 60% of the focus on back-house tasks and 40% on supplier engagement. You will report to the IBA National Category Manager and be part of a team of five, including two Assistant Category Managers and two other Category Coordinators.

The Role

In this position, you will assist the IBA Category Manager with promotional planning for their independent brands. A key part of the job is managing a portfolio of suppliers and confirming their promotional plans. You will also approve promotional content for market delivery, such as catalogues and press ads. Communicating promotional content to state teams and managing their feedback is also a core responsibility.

  • Assist the IBA Category Manager with promotional planning for our independent brands.
  • Manage a portfolio of suppliers, confirming promotional plans and activations.
  • Approve promotional content for market delivery, such as catalogues and press ads.
  • Communicate promotional content to state teams and manage feedback.
  • Perform administrative tasks, including data input and analysis, to help meet KPIs.
  • Utilize strong Excel skills to input wholesale pricing, discounts, and margins, and to pull and analyze data.
  • Act as a backup for the National Category Manager during their absence.
  • Collaborate with the marketing team and state teams to create a national strategy with various brands.

You're Likely a Match If

  • You have previous experience in the liquor industry or a similar category management role.
  • You have a strong understanding of how the Category Manager role interacts with cross-functional departments and suppliers.
  • You possess excellent communication skills and interpersonal skills, with the proven ability to build and maintain effective relationships with both internal teams and suppliers.
  • You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with intermediate to advanced Excel abilities.
  • You are highly organized with proven time management skills, able to prioritize and deliver tasks on time.
  • You have a collaborative, enthusiastic, and energetic approach.
  • You are proactive and can take on a high volume of administrative tasks.

At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
