Category Manager

Meet Nuby

We're Nuby, pronounced NEW-be, and while we don't take ourselves too seriously, we are serious about helping parents navigate the ride of parenthood. From the first feed to the first steps, our products support every chaotic, wonderful, sleep-deprived moment in between.

With over 45 years of heritage and part of the global Luv n' care group, we are a trusted name in baby feeding, weaning, soothing and everyday care, with a presence in over 155 countries worldwide.

We're the creators of RapidCool™, an award-winning innovation widely recognised by parents as a true game changer. Our portfolio spans feeding, weaning, drinking, toys, teethers, bathtime and nursery essentials, with products stocked by leading retailers including Boots, Tesco, Amazon and Argos. But there's more to Nuby than great products.

Our culture is built around four core values:

• Care: We give our all in everything we do.
• The World: We're committed to building a more sustainable future for children.
• People: We work openly, honestly and collaboratively.
• Fun: We bring energy, positivity and celebrate success.

We're a brand with a mission, a personality and a genuine passion for making family life a little easier.

We care. We collaborate. We have fun. And now, we're looking for someone to join us.

• Go-to-Market Strategy: Take ownership of category go-to-market plans, helping ensure new and existing products are successfully positioned and launched.
• Brand & Category Performance: Develop and manage an annual brand tracker, monitoring consumer behaviour, parent trends, category developments and commercial performance.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work collaboratively across the business, bringing together insight, commercial thinking and product innovation to deliver shared objectives.
