Join Danone’s mission of bringing health through food to as many people as possible by supporting the Category Development team in driving growth across Dairy and Plant-Based categories. 

As a Junior Category Development Coordinator, you’ll assist in analyzing market data, understanding shopper behavior, and contributing to assortment and shelf optimization projects — gaining hands-on experience in category management within a dynamic FMCG environment. 

Your key responsibilities will be to: 

• Support the Category Development team in analyzing retail and shopper data (e.g., Nielsen, retailer scans) to identify trends and insights. 

• Assist in building assortment and shelf recommendations, contributing to the development of planograms and visibility solutions. 

• Prepare and update category performance reports and dashboards, tracking KPIs such as share of market (SoM), share of shelf (SoS), and rate of sale (ROS). 

• Participate in internal cross-functional meetings with Marketing and Sales, supporting the integration of category insights into commercial plans. 

• Contribute to innovation projects, helping track new product listings, distribution, and post-launch performance. 

• Learn to translate data into actionable recommendations, under the guidance of senior team members. 

• Support day-to-day operational and administrative tasks within the Category Development team.

• Strong analytical mindset and genuine curiosity for understanding market and shopper data. 

• Good organization and communication skills, with attention to detail. 

• Basic understanding of business metrics and KPIs (TDP, SoM, SoS, ROS) — willingness to learn how to interpret and use them. 

• Basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel & PowerPoint (experience with data visualization or reporting tools is a plus). 

• Team player, eager to learn and take initiative in a fast-paced environment. 

• Good English skills, both written and verbal. 

• Bachelor’s degree (in progress or completed) in Economics, Marketing, Business Administration, or a related field. 

• Prior internship or academic experience in FMCG, marketing, or data analysis is a plus, but not required.
