Rohlik is changing the way people shop for food — fast, high-quality, and built around what customers actually want. And Private Label (Food) is one of our most important categories. It’s where we can truly stand out — through taste, quality, value for money, and products customers come back for again and again.

Now we’re looking for a Senior Category Manager who will take full ownership of the strategy, performance and further development of this key category. Someone who’s great with numbers and suppliers, thinks long-term, and can also handle the day-to-day reality of a fast-moving business.

Why this role is exciting

• You’ll have a real impact on what (and how well) hundreds of thousands of customers eat every day.

• You’ll own one of the most visible and strategically important categories at Rohlik.

• You’ll have space to build strategy — not just execute someone else’s plan.

• You’ll work in an environment where decisions are made fast and based on data, not hierarchy.

• You’ll see immediate impact on sales, margin and customer satisfaction.

What you’ll do

As a Senior Category Manager for Private Label (Food) you will own the full commercial performance of the category — from strategy to everyday execution.

Specifically, you will:

• Take full ownership for the strategy, performance and growth of Private Label (Food).

• Lead negotiations with key suppliers, Joint Business Plans and regular category reviews.

• Optimise assortment, pricing and promotional plan to drive sales and margin growth.

• Work closely with Marketing, Pricing and Supply Chain to ensure smooth execution — from campaigns to availability.

• Contribute to regional sourcing initiatives and cross-market projects.

• Lead and develop team members responsible for sub-categories or specific suppliers.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for an experienced category leader who combines commercial instinct, analytical thinking and real ownership.

• Minimum 3 years of experience in category management or buying, at least 2 years in a senior/lead role.

• Experience with Private Label / own-brand food (other FMCG categories are a plus).

• Proven track record in growing categories and delivering commercial results (ideally in FMCG or e-commerce).

• Strong negotiation skills, data-driven mindset and strategic thinking.

• Experience leading cross-functional projects and influencing stakeholders.

• Fluent English; Czech language is a strong advantage.

• Availability to travel up to 15-20% of the time

Nice to have:

• Experience managing categories across multiple countries.

• Strong supplier network in the local FMCG / food market.
