Category Analyst

About the Opportunity

Kforce is partnering with a client in San Marcos, CA, to find a Category Analyst. This role is designed to bridge the gap between raw data and strategic decision-making within the retail sector. The position focuses on empowering National Account Managers and leadership teams with the insights needed to drive growth, optimize inventory, and refine category strategies.

The Role in Context

In this position, you will serve as a critical support pillar for retail-facing teams. Your day-to-day involves analyzing sales performance, pricing, and promotional data across key retail accounts to identify trends and opportunities. You will build and maintain retailer-specific reporting templates and dashboards, ensuring that data used for internal and external reporting is accurate, consistent, and standardized.

The role requires close collaboration with sales, operations, and leadership to align on reporting needs and support ad hoc analysis for new product launches or expansion efforts. While the environment relies heavily on Excel-based tools, the impact is significant: you will help inform pricing, trade spend, and supply chain strategies by translating complex data into clear, actionable insights.
