A bit about us

As the largest distributor of building materials in the UK, Travis Perkins has been helping to build Britain for over 200 years.

With over 5 businesses, 17,000 colleagues and more than 1,200 branches, stores and sites around the UK we believe we have the best people and the best place to work. Everyone works hard together to deliver results, but most importantly, have some fun along the way! 

We’re driving to become a truly inclusive employer. We want everyone to be at their best and it’s our ambition that everyone within our Group feels safe, welcome and confident to be their authentic selves.

You be you, it makes us, us!

Civils and drainage is the backbone of every project that gets built in this country, and Keyline is the specialist that keeps it moving. From heavyside materials to below-ground drainage, our branches rely on a Commercial team that knows its categories inside out. That is where you come in.

We are looking for a Category Assistant to join our Commercial function and become the engine room behind our category strategy. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone analytical, organised and commercially curious to build a career in category management with one of the best-known names in the civils sector.

What you will be doing

You will be the go-to person for keeping our product data accurate and our category running smoothly. Day to day, you will:

• Own and maintain the product database, making sure everything is recorded and updated accurately so the category runs efficiently
• Handle queries from branches and see them through to a clean resolution
• Build strong working relationships with suppliers, branch teams and stakeholders across the Group
• Dig into the data and turn it into insight that helps the team and the wider Commercial function make timely, informed decisions
• Support the Category Manager through the new supplier set-up process, keeping data spot on
• Produce reports and presentations, and pull together tender documentation
• Keep an eye on competitor activity in your categories and feed that back so we can agree the right response
• Get involved in supplier negotiations, guided by the Category Manager

What we are looking for

You do not need years of category experience. What matters is the way you think and work. You will thrive here if you:

• Are analytical and comfortable working with data to spot the story behind the numbers
• Plan and organise well, and hit your deadlines
• Take the initiative, make decisions and act without waiting to be told
• Communicate clearly and build relationships easily with people at all levels
• Bring a creative, problem-solving mindset and stay resilient when priorities shift
• Are educated to GCSE level or equivalent

An understanding of commercial performance (margin, sales, deals), product groups, competitors or customer channels would be a real bonus, but if you have the drive and the aptitude, we will help you build the rest.

Why Keyline

Join Keyline and you join a business that takes career development seriously, backed by the scale and security of the Travis Perkins Group. You will get the support, training and exposure to grow into a category management career, alongside a team that genuinely wants you to succeed.
