About the job
You don’t just know drywall, you think it further? Then read on. With us, as a Category Manager, you take on your assortment with a great deal of personal responsibility – from market analyses and price calculations to clever promotions and ongoing activities. You introduce new assortment items, actively shape changes and always keep an eye on trends. At the same time, you maintain relevant master data in SAP for optimal control. You work closely with sales, marketing and supply chain, but always keep the reins in your hands and also contribute to strategic projects. If you really want to make a difference and take responsibility: here you have the space for it – without any dry, dusty processes.
Your profile
You organise yourself, think quickly and act independently? Sounds like you. If you also manage to win others over to your ideas, you are right with us. You have completed a commercial apprenticeship or bring practical experience in purchasing, product management or sales promotion. In addition, you have a strong affinity for construction and sound know-how in the field of building materials (drywall). If trust, change and responsibility are important to you personally and you live by the motto "We make building simple and efficient", you share key values with HGC. And don’t worry: a bit of travel (approx. 20%) brings fresh air.
