All you do is win, win, win! And while that might be a lyric from a popular song, it’s also your mantra when it comes to all things Sales and managing and presenting data. You aim for the best! But you’re more than just a hard worker, you’re also a team player. Whether you’re working with your team or communicating cross functionally, you’ve got a way with words and anticipating people’s needs. People turn to you when they need support, data, and a friend, too! You’re that good.
If the above sounds like you and helping share compelling selling stories is right up your alley, our familia would love to hear from you about our Category Manager position!

About you:

  • Every morning you wake up and say, “Seize the data!” You’re a data lover through and through.
  • People use the words “clear” and “concise” to describe your communication—which is why you’re great at collaborating, especially across functions.
  • Like Nancy Drew or Sherlock Holmes, you’ve got a knack for sorting through data, finding what’s important, and solving problems with that information. What’s more? You’re great at explaining your insights to others as well!
  • On a scale of 1-7 (7 being the best), you’re a 7 (Siete!) when it comes to working in a fast-paced environment and adapting to change.
  • You see the value in storytelling with words, but telling a story with data? Well that’s what makes your heart glow!
  • Presenting data analytics is to YOU as peanut butter is to jelly (or tortillas are to cheese!). As in, it’s your thing!
  • You love where you live. We get it, we love where we live too. This position could be remote for the right fit.

What you will do:

  • Develop selling stories and materials by analyzing scan and consumer data for assortment, placement, pricing, and promotion recommendations in support of business initiatives.
  • Partner with Sales account leads on customer specific selling opportunities and critical information needed to support Siete and retailer objectives.
  • Collaborate with Brand and Innovation teams to build selling materials that support distribution placement and on-going business support.
  • Communicate category and competitive trends through regular reporting and/or presentations to Sales and the broader Siete team where applicable, identifying key insights, drivers, and/or opportunities.
  • Contribute to cross functional innovation planning and strategy led by Commercialization with category overviews and Sales insights.
  • Support ad hoc analytical requests for business questions and represent data gaps or reporting needs to address.
  • Maintain and optimize selling resources as new data becomes available.

Experience:

  • Strong grasp of industry data available from syndicated partners like SPINS, Circana, and/or Numerator as well as direct customers and distributors (ex. Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, UNFI, KeHE) required
  • Proficiency in Excel including comfort with vlookups, pivot tables is required
  • 3+ years in food/beverage CPG sales and/or category management strongly preferred
  • Comfort with Google Slides and Powerpoint is preferred
