What will you be doing?

Our Wholesale & Foodservice division is an integral part of Circana and our objective to remain the first point of call for the insight and analytical requirements of the world’s leading CPG manufacturers.

In the role of Senior Insight Manager (SIM), your responsibility will be to support a varied list of manufacturing clients who have insight services as part of their ongoing contractual commitments with the team. These insight services are highly valued by clients and help encourage tangible change within Convenience, Foodservice and OOH channels that they operate within.

For this role, we are seeking an inquisitive minded individual with an understanding of the intricacies of the Wholesale and Foodservice channels and how these channels must be thought about and managed differently to other traditional sectors like the Grocers.

Our SIM will be working alongside our Insight Director to effectively manage the entire insight deliverable process for our clients – from scoping and briefing right through to delivery and future planning. There will be ample opportunity to work across multiple clients across multiple categories which come together to provide a great learning option for the successful candidate. You will also have the chance to deliver a range of proactive insight pieces to amplify Circana’s thought leadership in our channels as well as driving broader client interest in our business.
