Big growth.
Big brands.
Big energy.
This is YOUR opportunity to join one of Australia's most exciting consumer retail businesses — quick-moving, high-growth and completely customer obsessed.
With hundreds of stores nationally, they have a huge focus on beauty, health services, wellness and customer experience.
This is a national organisation where trends move quickly, categories evolve constantly and careers can seriously take off.
And the category?
Skincare...and its one of the retailer's strongest-performing categories — delivering double-digit growth, driving front-of-store performance and constantly evolving with new brands, new trends and endless consumer demand.
Why You'll Love It:
Work in one of the most exciting growth categories in retail
Huge exposure to suppliers, major brands and cross-functional teams
Broad involvement across promotions, pricing, retail media and category activity
Fast-paced environment where no two days are the same
Genuine career pathway toward Category Management
Join a business that is growing, evolving and winning market share
Hybrid working with minimum 2 days in office
What You'll Be Doing:
This is not a quiet, sit-back kind of Assistant Category Manager role.
You'll be right in the middle of a busy, high-volume category — helping coordinate promotions, pricing, supplier activity, category administration and commercial execution across the skincare portfolio.
One minute you're proofing catalogue activity...the next you're managing pricing updates, reviewing supplier submissions, analysing category performance and/or coordinating campaign activity with marketing and retail media teams.
You'll support the Category Manager across:
Promotional and campaign execution
Pricing,



product maintenance and promotional coordination
Supplier communications and relationship management
Category reporting, competitor analysis and sales insights
Promotional forecasting and campaign support
Retail media and branded activity
Category administration and data accuracy
Cross-functional stakeholder coordination
Multiple projects, deadlines and competing priorities
About You:
You're commercially switched-on, highly organised and love operating in busy retail environments where pace is everything.
You could currently be:
An Assistant Category Manager in Pharmacy, Beauty, FMCG, Grocery, Hardware or another fast-paced, high-volume retail environment
Or in another retail support office function....
and ready to step up (or across) into this role
Most importantly, you:
Love pace, variety and juggling priorities
Are highly organised and detail obsessed
Have strong numerical and analytical capability
You are a Wizz at excel especially in V-Look Ups & Pivot Tables
Enjoy building supplier and stakeholder relationships
Thrive in deadline-driven environments
Are proactive, resilient and solutions-focused
Get excited by consumer trends and fast-moving retail categories
This is a role for someone who wants exposure, pace and growth.
A role where you'll learn fast, build commercial capability and work in one of retail's most exciting categories.
Why This Role Stands Out:
This isn't a slow-moving corporate role.
It's fast, it's commercial and it's highly collaborative.
For the right person, this is an opportunity to accelerate your retail career in a business with serious momentum.
