TCCD Category Manager

TCCD is a privately owned, family-founded business built to be the leading independent grocery sales growth partner in Australia. We're not a corporate. We're not a multinational. We're a family-owned business with family values — where people know each other by name, leadership is accessible, and decisions are made quickly by people who care about the outcome.

We've been recognised with six Supplier of the Year awards across Metcash, Foodland, and Ritchies. We manage a $40M+ national portfolio of world-class P&G brands. Our leadership team brings over 100 years of combined FMCG experience — and in a flat structure, you don't just report to them, you learn from them.

We're hiring an Analyst/Sales professional to join a small, high-performing team managing a tier one brand portfolio across Australia's independent grocery channel. This is a 4-day role — deliberately designed to match the workload, not squeezed from 5. 

What You'll Do 

You'll be paired with a senior account manager (NAM or NBM) and work across the same categories they own. Your role has two sides: 

Own Your Accounts 

• Manage Foodworks and SPAR end-to-end — buyer relationships, promotional programs, trade spend, distribution, and in-store execution 
• Communicate ranging outcomes from Metcash to your downstream accounts 
• Build and manage promo grids and customer systems 

Drive the Analytics 

• Produce monthly Promo ROI analysis — actual vs. expected, baseline impact, rate of sale 
• Run pre-promo analysis: expected uplift, margin impact, cannibalisation risk 
• Support range reviews with scan performance data (Circana/IRI) 
• Prepare field briefing materials and cycle priorities 

This is not a back-office data role. You own customers, you own outcomes, and you produce the analytics that drive commercial decisions for a $40M portfolio. 

What We're Looking For 

• 1–2 years in FMCG — sales, category, or analytics 
• Excel intermediate+ and experience with Circana/IRI or equivalent scan data (preferred) 
• Understanding of promotional mechanics, ranging, and trade spend 
• Commercially minded — you think in terms of margin, ROI, and outcomes 
• Self-sufficient — you manage your workload with discipline and minimal supervision 
• Clear communicator — you translate data into action 

Why TCCD? 

• 4-day week — structured to match the workload, not compressed from 5 
• $80,000 package inclusive of superannuation 
• Tier-1 brands — world-class commercial development and credibility 
• Real commercial ownership — you own accounts and categories, not just reports 
• Flat structure — direct access to the CEO, NBM, and senior leadership. Your ideas are heard, your contributions are visible, your impact is measurable 
• Mentoring, not managing — leadership with 100+ years of combined FMCG experience is accessible and invested in your growth 
• PURPLE values — Partnership, Unity, Respect, Positivity, Laughter, Excellence. These aren't on a poster — they're in our quarterly awards, our daily conversations, and the way we work 
• Walsh Bay offices — daily barista, breakfast, and end-of-trip facilities 
• Career progression — Analyst/Sales → KAM → NAM. Clear pathway for people who want to grow
• Initiative is recognised, not just tolerated — through PURPLE Awards, direct leadership feedback, and visible impact on the business 

Who This Role Suits 

This role is designed for someone who specifically values a 4-day structure: 

• A returning professional who has the commercial maturity from a previous FMCG career and wants meaningful work without a 5-day grind
• A postgrad student or portfolio builder who wants real commercial ownership while keeping a day for study or development 
• An experienced operator who wants to stay in the game with more balance 
• A career mover from retail buying, supply chain, or marketing analytics who wants to step into FMCG sales with a structured mentoring model 

How to Apply 

Include your CV and a brief note on why this role suits you. We're looking for the right person, not just the right CV. 

TCCD — Real ownership. Real impact. A team that wins together.
