Kanske är det en trend du fångat upp på en mässa. En produkt du sett potentialen i långt innan andra gjorde det. Eller en idé som med rätt design, rätt leverantör och rätt prissättning kan bli nästa storsäljare. På A Lot Decoration får du som Senior Category Manager möjlighet att ta ett helhetsansvar för en kategori och vara med på hela resan. Från de första idéerna och trendspaningarna till produktutveckling, sourcing, lansering och resultat. För hos oss handlar rollen inte om att lägga inköpsordrar. Den handlar om att skapa affärer. Nyfiken? Det här är A Lot Decoration A Lot Decoration Sweden AB grundades 2004 i Falköping och är ett av Nordens ledande inredningsföretag.

Våra 4000 artiklar – från små dekorationer till stora – designas internt och säljs exklusivt B2B via vår egen webbshop, mässor och kataloger.

Här får du vara en del av ett företag som kombinerar struktur med inspiration och sprider glädje genom design. Fokus i din roll I rollen får du ett brett affärs- och resultatansvar där du driver utvecklingen av ditt sortiment från idé till färdig produkt och lansering. En stor del av vardagen handlar om att förstå marknaden, fånga upp trender och omsätta dem till kommersiellt gångbara produkter och kollektioner. Du arbetar med allt från sortimentsstrategi, produktutveckling och prissättning till leverantörsutveckling, marginaler och lönsamhet. Tillsammans med sourcingpartners i Asien identifierar och utvecklar du nya produkter, samtidigt som du samarbetar nära kollegor inom försäljning, inköp och produktutveckling för att skapa ett attraktivt och konkurrenskraftigt erbjudande. För att ligga steget före marknaden ingår även resor till mässor, leverantörer och trenddestinationer där du hämtar inspiration, bygger relationer och fångar upp framtidens möjligheter. Du blir en del av ett erfaret team bestående av flera kategorichefer, där ni tillsammans utvecklar sortiment som skapar värde för både kunder och affären. Om vi får önska Här söker vi dig som vill ta nästa steg i karriären. Kanske arbetar du idag som produktchef, sortimentsansvarig eller i en liknande roll inom retail. Du har byggt upp en gedigen erfarenhet inom produktutveckling och sortimentsarbete och är nu redo för en roll med större kommersiellt ansvar, där du får vara med och påverka allt från produktidé och sortimentsstrategi till lönsamhet och affärsutveckling. För att lyckas i rollen ser vi gärna att du har erfarenhet av: Private Label-utveckling Leverantörssamarbeten i Asien Sortiment och prissättning för olika försäljningskanaler Retail eller närliggande branscher Lanserings- och time-to-market-processer Affärsanalyser, kalkyler i Excel Vilken bransch du verkar i idag är mindre viktig än erfarenheten. Det viktiga är att du förstår hur man bygger attraktiva produkter och lönsamma sortiment. Är det rätt plats för dig? Du tycker om att analysera siffror, men drivs minst lika mycket av att skapa något nytt. Du är nyfiken på trender och marknader, samtidigt som du har förmågan att omsätta idéer till konkreta resultat. Framför allt tror vi att du trivs i en miljö där man hjälps åt, tar ansvar och ibland får kavla upp ärmarna för att få saker att hända. För hos oss är det just kombinationen av kreativitet, entreprenörskap och affärsfokus som gör jobbet så roligt. Bra att veta Placering i Falköping. Resor förekommer, cirka sex veckor per år.
