So much good. So let's make it better.

We're really proud of all we've achieved over the years. But we've really only scratched the surface. Join us as our Assistant Category Manager and help us as we take something great and make it better.

Your opportunity

The Assistant Category Manager will support the buying and product management functions within the Architectural Hardware product portfolio. This role is pivotal in assisting the Category Manager in delivering new product development, product lifecycle analysis, range integrity, stakeholder management, and promotional execution.

What you'll bring

Ideal candidates will have data analysis and procurement experience.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, business, or marketing is preferred but not essential
• Experience in digital channel content management
• Previous experience in a buying/procurement function

But what's most important is that you're committed to doing good work, well. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with trustworthy people, so it's important that you're willing to work in a team environment. We're also on a constant journey of growth, so you'll need to have an open mind and be flexible to change.
