As Category Manager for Perfumes & Cosmetics, I am responsible for the end-to-end management of the category, from strategy to execution. I drive category growth through assortment planning, pricing, promotions, supplier negotiations, and data driven decision-making. I work closely with Marketing, Operations, and international stakeholders to achieve revenue and margin targets.
Skins offers a curated selection of exclusive, high-end niche brands and provides B2B services to luxury retailers. I acted as the primary point of contact, with a particular focus on De Bijenkorf, while also supporting key retailers as Skins South Africa, Douglas, and over 200+ other premium retailers. I managed marketing initiatives for product launches, support visual merchandising, maintain active assortment accuracy, coordinate efficient order management, provide the latest brand assets, and analyze market trends.
