International Category Manager - Barebells I Vitamin Well I NOCCO

Vitamin Well Group develops premium functional drinks, snacks and protein products designed for modern, everyday life and

on-the-go consumption. Our portfolio includes Barebells, NOCCO and Vitamin Well. With over 750 employees and revenue of more than

SEK 10 billion, we are present in over 50 markets, with our headquarters in Stockholm and local teams and partners around the

world. Our growth is driven by a focus on building strong brands, creating products with uncompromising taste and clear

functionality, and consistently raising the bar across our categories.

Our Global Category Management function develops the strategies and frameworks that guide our category work across markets. As the

function has evolved, we have also built an expanding team of local Category Managers in our core markets, translating these into

strong commercial execution.

We are now looking for an International Category Manager to take broad ownership of Category Management across our international

markets, working closely with the Global Head of Category Management and our local commercial teams.

As International Category Manager, you will be responsible for developing and executing category strategies across our

international markets, adapting them to local market needs and opportunities.

You will work closely with colleagues across Category Management, Insights and Shopper Marketing, and partner with Managing

Directors, Sales leads and customers across our markets. The role brings together category strategy, local market priorities and

customer collaboration, with a clear commercial focus on growing our categories.

The role reports to the Global Head of Category Management and is based at our headquarters in central Stockholm (alternative

locations in Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Hamburg may be considered).

• Category ownership: Responsibility for the category agenda with retailers and the Sales organisation, ensuring clear direction

and measurable commercial outcomes.

• Shopper- & customer-centred category development: Insight-grounded recommendations on assortment, pricing, placement and

category performance, delivered in close collaboration with key customers.

• Market plans and priority initiatives: Ownership of category plans and customer projects that shape growth, strengthen

execution and support new business opportunities.

• Commercial tools and communication: Development of concept sells, sales materials and internal playbooks that elevate launches,

annual reviews and commercial dialogues.

• Insight, analysis and opportunity identification: Continuous evaluation of consumer, shopper, market and category data to

define opportunities and guide the actions that matter most.

• A genuinely international category role. Work with markets at different stages of maturity, each with its own customers,

challenges and opportunities.

• Broad ownership in a lean global setup. Work closely with the Global Head of Category Management, with real scope to influence

priorities and how we develop our categories.

• Brands with momentum. Help shape the category growth of Barebells, NOCCO and Vitamin Well as we continue to grow and develop

internationally.

• Close to the commercial reality. This is a hands-on role where insights and category thinking need to translate into customer

decisions and action.

You are an analytical and commercially grounded category professional who knows how to turn data and insights into clear

recommendations and action. You build strong relationships with commercial teams and customers, while being confident in

challenging, prioritising and bringing your own perspective. Collaborative and pragmatic, you are comfortable taking ownership and

getting things moving in a fast-paced FMCG environment.

• Strong analytical skills and experience working with large datasets and category data sources such as NielsenIQ or similar,

combined with strong Excel and PowerPoint skills.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work across markets, commercial teams and

customers.

We review applications on an ongoing basis and may fill the position before the application deadline. We appreciate LinkedIn, but

to get a full picture of your experience, we ask you to also include a CV.
