Category Manager Central & West, Alcohol

The Category Manager, Alcohol (Central & West) is responsible for owning the end-to-end category strategy and financial performance for Beer, Wine, and Spirits across Gopuff’s Central and West regions. This role drives product sales and margin through assortment productivity, pricing optimization, promotional planning, supplier negotiations, and product placement. We are seeking a seasoned, product-focused merchant with deep alcohol industry expertise and a strong analytical foundation. The ideal candidate is an opportunistic thinker who can partner effectively with cross-functional teams—including Supply Chain, Marketing, Planning, Business Development, Finance, and Digital Merchandising—to build localized, high-performing assortments that exceed financial goals. This role will lead all alcohol initiatives for the Central and West states, work closely with the Category Manager overseeing the East Coast, and collaborate with Category Managers across our retail business (BevMo!) to deliver cohesive, cross-banner strategies. Success in this role requires strong problem-solving skills, comfort operating in a highly regulated environment, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting. Gopuff values creative problem solving and in-person collaboration to drive quick, informed decisions. This role follows a hybrid schedule, with three in-office days per week (Tuesday–Thursday) at our Miami or Philadelphia hub.
