Assistant Category Manager

We’ve got two rare and exciting opportunities for the right candidates. We’re looking to grow our Product Department, adding another team of two. This ad is for an Assistant Category Manager. We need someone to take ownership of a smaller portfolio, learning the skills to lead while assisting the team Manager in their duties.

As Australia’s Premier supplier of specialty woodworking equipment, it would be great if you had a history, knowledge or passion already demonstrated for our industry. But we’re open to the right person from any background - we understand it takes all types and there are many skills that could be brought to this role that could be beneficial. Sometimes, it is just the right mindset.

• We would need you to possess great attention to detail in any task you’re set, with the capacity to work both autonomously and within a small team.
• You’re able to multitask and manage time and pressure well.
• You’ll want to be flexible - goalposts can shift and you may wear a few hats according to need.
• You understand the importance of relationships to any business and have the communication and negotiation skills to match this understanding.
• You can make sense of numbers and are not afraid of the sight of a spreadsheet - in fact, maybe you even LIKE spreadsheets! It’s always possible.
• You’re passionate about delivering exceptional solutions to problems through discovering and distributing the right products.
• You have an open approach and ability to learn.

So tell us - who are you? What’s your history? What makes you tick? Why is this role the one you’ve been waiting for?!

We’re professional, but not corporate straightjackets. We are a medium size family business over 35 years old with six retail stores in Australia and two in New Zealand. Thousands of DIY enthusiasts, woodworking hobbyists, students and professionals rely on us to bring them the best tools from the world over, all to give them the opportunity to get creative with timber.

Interested? We genuinely look forward to hearing from you.
