Melbourne, Victoria, Australia ClearCompany Full time
This is your chance to step into a newly created role within a market-leading apparel supplier that's entering an exciting new chapter of growth. With a strong portfolio of well-established brands — and a brand-new label launching soon — the business is expanding its team to deliver even more innovative, on-trend products to customers across Australia and New Zealand.

As Category Manager, you'll be the operational lead for a specific apparel category — owning the journey from concept through to market performance. This role is ideal for someone who wants to shape a category, bring fresh ideas, and see the tangible results of their work in market.
You'll work closely with senior leadership to turn big-picture strategies into action, collaborating with design, marketing, sales, and supply chain teams to deliver products that customers love — and that hit commercial targets.

What You'll Do

- Develop and execute category plans to achieve sales, margin, and growth targets.
- Manage product development and lifecycle from concept to launch.
- Identify trends, market gaps, and innovation opportunities.
- Build and manage supplier relationships, negotiating on cost, quality, and timelines.
- Partner with marketing and sales to create impactful go-to-market strategies.
- Monitor performance and provide actionable insights to drive improvements.

About You

- Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Merchandising, or related field.
- 3+ years' experience in category, product, or brand management (apparel experience required).
- Strong commercial and analytical skills with a creative eye for product.
- Excellent stakeholder management and supplier negotiation skills.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, growth-oriented environment.

What's on Offer

- Shape a brand-new role with plenty of scope to make it your own.
- Work with established brands and play a key role in launching a new one.
- Join a company in a high-growth phase with career progression opportunities.
- Be part of a collaborative, high-energy team environment

Apply now and be part of a business that's redefining its market presence and delivering exciting, innovative products.
