Full Job Description

We have an exciting new opportunity for a Junior Category Manager to join our growing Home & Appliances team at Kogan.com!

We're looking for a commercially-minded and outcomes-driven Junior Category Manager to help shape and grow our product offering. While a background in furniture or homewares is a plus, it's not essential — a genuine interest in those categories and a strong understanding of product trends will go a long way.

This role is perfect for someone who has already gained exposure to category management and is now ready to take on greater ownership and responsibility. You’ll be given the opportunity to manage a portfolio, partner with suppliers, launch new products, and make a real impact on what our customers see and shop for every day.

Being proactive, innovative and striving to continually develop your category for our customers
Actively negotiating the best possible trading terms and prices
Drive and control price changes across our different sales channels, and contribute towards pricing reviews when required
Ensuring timely introduction of new products, efficient management of current and future inventory and ensuring timely fulfilment of customer demand
Actively manage and monitor inventory levels to achieve your category’s goals and KPIs. This includes forward forecasting, planning promotional activity and actively reacting to market conditions.
Partnering with the Marketing & Promotions teams to ensure product listings are well merchandised and discoverable to support the customer journey
Monitoring performance and completing range reviews across your category and taking action where necessary

To be successful in this role, you should be:

University Degree qualified in a relevant field (Commerce, Business, Economics or similar)
Experienced with Category ownership, at either an Assistant or Junior Category Manager level, or have supported a Category Manager with exposure / ownership of a product range and ready to step up to have full category ownership
Experience within an eCommerce, Retail or FMCG environment and / or Home & Living or Furniture categories will be highly regarded
Comfortable building and maintaining effective relationships, through exceptional communication and engagement
Highly analytical and possess commercial nous, being able to recognise opportunity and make quick decisions for the best commercial outcomes, so that we can offer market-leading pricing to our customers
Comfortable working within a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Being agile and adaptable is key to success!
A whiz with Microsoft Excel (we’re talking VLOOKUP and pivot tables, not SUM and AVERAGE - and we will test your capabilities).
ighly proficient with various IT and cloud-based tools, with a keen eye for leveraging AI to streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and boost productivity
