Gopuff is seeking an Associate Category Manager to drive assortment strategy and distribution for the Smoke Shop and Alcohol categories. You will collaborate closely with the Merchandising team and cross-functional partners including Supply Chain, Distributors, Suppliers, and Digital Merchandising to build compelling product assortments that delight customers.
In this role, you'll leverage working knowledge of the CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) industry to identify opportunities and make data-driven decisions. You'll analyze market trends, pricing dynamics, and inventory data to influence category strategy and optimize product selection. Your analytical skills will be critical—you'll need to synthesize data from multiple sources and translate insights into actionable merchandising decisions.
You'll thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where creative problem-solving and quick decision-making are valued. Gopuff emphasizes in-person collaboration and relationship-building, so you'll spend three days per week (Tuesday–Thursday) in either the Philadelphia or Miami office, with flexibility for remote work on other days.
Key responsibilities include:
- Developing and executing assortment strategies for assigned categories
- Partnering with suppliers and distributors to optimize product mix and pricing
- Analyzing sales data, margins, and customer demand to inform decisions
- Collaborating with digital merchandising to ensure compelling product presentation
- Identifying category growth opportunities and competitive gaps
- Supporting supply chain planning and inventory optimization
You should have a strong analytical mindset, experience in retail or CPG merchandising, and the ability to work effectively across teams. Success requires both quantitative rigor and creative thinking.
