dunnhumby is the global leader in Customer Data Science, partnering with the world’s most ambitious retailers and brands to put the customer at the heart of every decision. We combine deep insight, advanced technology, and close collaboration to help our clients grow, innovate, and deliver measurable value for their customers. 
dunnhumby employs nearly 2,500 experts in offices throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas working for transformative, iconic brands such as Tesco, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Unilever  and Metro.
 
We’re looking for a  Senior Category Management Consultant who expects more from their career. It’s a chance to extend and improve dunnhumby’s Category Management team and work with a market-leading business to explore new opportunities and influence global retailers.
This is a 12-month FTC role.
Joining our Category Management team, you’ll work with world-class and passionate people to bring the customer to the forefront of Space, Range and Merchandising (SRM) decisions at Tesco. You will work closely with Tesco stakeholders to understand strategic opportunities, while collaborating internally with Applied Data Scientists to deliver impactful projects.
This role will have a strong focus on helping Tesco optimise ranges and planograms across different parts of the business (including Express, ROI and Central Europe). Rather than focusing on day-to-day range recommendations, you will play a more strategic role, engaging with senior stakeholders, shaping thinking, and demonstrating how dunnhumby’s tools and capabilities can unlock value.
You will also partner across multiple teams within both Tesco and dunnhumby, building a deep understanding of how different markets operate and identifying opportunities to scale best practice and drive greater impact.

• Strong client relationship and stakeholder management skills

• Experience embedding customer-led solutions into client decision making

• Background in FMCG, retail, supplier side or consultancy

• Commercial acumen to identify opportunities for both the client and dunnhumby

• Ability to critically analyse data, interpret insights, and present clear actions to client

• Category Management experience desirable, but not essential

• Advanced Excel skills desirable, but not essential
