As Head of Category Management, you will define and execute category strategies for physical products, leading a team while collaborating across functions to drive growth.
MOO set out to shake up the world of print back in 2006. And we’ve come a long way since. Today we’re a 400 + strong team (we’re thinking of getting matching jackets) who create print and digital products for companies of all sizes – from Google and AirBnB to the guy who makes those amazing prints you found at a craft fair.
Our global HQ is in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you’ll find us in Boston, MA Denver, CO, and East Providence, RI
We’re making new and exciting things – and we could really do with your help.

- Partner with cross-functional teams across MOO to ensure successful product launches and smooth handovers to Marketing, Operations, and Pricing
