At Vitamin Well Group, we provide great-tasting drinks, snacks, and protein products. Our brands Vitamin Well, NOCCO, and Barebells are available across most of Europe, North America, the MENA region, and parts of Asia Pacific. With a revenue of 650 million euros, we operate in over 40 markets, with headquarters in Stockholm and offices in fourteen countries around the world.  

At our headquarters in Stockholm, the global Category Management function develops the strategies and frameworks that guide our category work across markets. In our core markets, we have an expanding team of local Category Managers who ensure that these strategies are translated into strong commercial execution.

We are now recruiting a Category Manager for Sweden, our home market. This role owns the category agenda for Sweden — a place where decisions are made and strong category work is acted on, not filed away.

As Category Manager Sweden, you will be responsible for developing and executing category strategies tailored to the Swedish market. You will work closely with our Insights team, collaborate with the International Category Manager, and partner with the Swedish Sales organisation to ensure that insights, strategies, and customer dialogues drive category growth.

Sweden is our reference market, which means your work will influence not only local outcomes but also how we develop our category approach globally. The role reports to the Global Head of Insights & Category Management and is based at our headquarters in central Stockholm.

As our Category Management expert, your work happens in the market with customers — where insights matter only when they become actions.

In short your responsibilities will be

• Category ownership for Sweden: Responsibility for the category agenda with retailers and the Swedish 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.
