Gesloten marketing vacatures Amsterdam

We’re looking for a Category Manager who thrives where technology meets commercial strategy. Someone who doesn’t just analyse data, but turns it into decisive action. Someone who sees patterns before others do, spots opportunities in complex markets, and isn’t satisfied until the numbers move fast and in the right direction.

If you’re energized by building smart assortments, optimizing performance through data, and driving measurable results in a tech-driven environment, then this role is built for you. You’ll have the freedom to experiment, the tools to scale, and the responsibility to own a category that directly impacts our growth.

Our client company specializes in distributing innovative tech products across Europe, connecting global innovations with local markets. With offices in Europe and Asia, the company actively seeks out cutting-edge, reliable, and smart products from around the world. Backed by over a decade of experience in technology and distribution, our client company is committed to providing a flexible and personal approach to its partners.
