A Career in Beer and Beyond:

Molson Coors Beverage Company is committed to brewing beverages that unite people to celebrate all of life's moments. Our purpose is to create a modern portfolio that expands beyond the beer aisle, while maintaining our iconic brands that have been brewing for over 350 years.

We are Talent Brewers with our culture rooted in our core Values. We believe in our brands and our people, and that diversity WITH inclusion is the key to a winning team culture. We're looking for a Category Executive based in Toronto to join our Canada's elite Category Management team, with colleagues located in both Toronto and Montreal.

You will be reporting to the Senior Manager, Customer Solutions, a veteran of Category Management who hails from small-town Quebec. He looks forward to meeting you and wishes you luck trying to find his hometown on a map.

  • Champion category capability development and solutions for sales teams
  • Regular in-market work to evaluate effectiveness of plan implementation as well as identify retail volume/profit opportunities
  • General performance reporting – track, measure, and communicate results
  • Though the role itself is quite cerebral, being part of this team also involves remembering that we sell beer – and it's okay to have fun while doing so responsably

The Other Qualifications:

  • You have at least 5-8 years' progressive experience in category management in consumer packaged goods or direct store delivery industries
  • You're an entrepreneur at heart. You love taking the initiative and leading projects that add value to the sales team and customers.
  • You're curious. You enjoy testing new tools and developing your skills and sharing them with your colleagues.
  • You have fun merging complex databases using your tech talents to create impactful insights.
  • You love a challenge. You complete complex projects quickly and adeptly with your understanding of business priorities.
  • You react with appropriate urgency to various market events and trends that may require a quick pivot in plans and strategy.
  • You are confident and competent. You are diplomatic, professional, and exercise great judgment in developing and maintaining excellent business relationships.
  • You are serious about results and take pride in having a proven track record of delivering them.
  • Proficiency in the following: Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and any database software.
  • Nice-to-haves include proficiency or experience in the any of the following: JDA, Grocer Loyalty Programs (Dunnhumby, LDIA, Circana), Nielsen Discover, Tableau, Geomatic, Alteryx.

Work Perks that You Need to Know About:

  • Flexible work programs that support work-life balance
  • We care about our People and Planet and have challenged ourselves with stretch goals around our key priorities.
  • We care about our communities and play our part to make a difference – from charitable donations to hitting the streets together to build parks, giving back to the community is part of our culture and who we are.
  • Engagement with a variety of Employee Resource Groups, which can provide volunteer opportunities, leadership experience, and networking through the organization
  • Ability to grow and develop your career centered around our First Choice Learning opportunities
  • Participation in our Total Rewards program with a competitive base salary, incentive plans, parental leave, health, dental, vision, generous paid time off plans, an engaging Wellness Program, and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with amazing resources
  • Access to cool brand clothing and swag, top events and, of course...free beer and beverages
  • Work within a fast-paced and innovative company, meeting passionate colleagues and partners with diverse backgrounds and experiences
