The Sr. Director, Category Leadership will shape the next chapter of growth for one of the fastest-growing brands in better-for-you snacking. This highly strategic, commercially influential leader will define Chomps’ long-term category leadership vision, own the category growth agenda, and translate syndicated, household, loyalty, shopper, and retailer data into clear recommendations that influence Sales, Marketing, Innovation, RGM, and executive decision-making. They will build the annual Category Growth Story, identify whitespace opportunities, develop a sharp competitive POV, and help Chomps win with retailers through compelling, data-backed stories.
