About The Position

Join Gallo as a Category Development Analyst and help shape how our wines and spirits connect with customers across chain accounts. You’ll translate data into actionable recommendations—using IRI, Nielsen, Spectra, Blue Yonder, SMIS and chain data—to support sales teams, build scorecards, forecast performance, and influence assortment and space decisions. Your work will inform Plan-O-Grams, new-item presentations, commerce marketing, and annual business reviews while partnering on special projects that optimize set flow, adjacencies, and merchandising methodology. We seek someone curious, detail-oriented, and collaborative who enjoys turning numbers into strategy and can navigate multiple databases to retrieve and validate insights. You’ll balance analytical rigor with practical execution: guiding space planners, controlling business expenses responsibly, and contributing to training and cross-functional initiatives. Embracing intrapreneurship and ownership, you’ll take initiative, learn from experiments, and hold yourself and teammates accountable while championing best practices and future-focused change. Gallo values diverse perspectives and fosters an inclusive environment where everyone can grow. We offer the chance to develop analytical skills, work with experienced teams, and make measurable impact across an assigned geography. If you’re passionate about retail analytics, possess strong problem-solving and communication skills, and are committed to dependable attendance and compliance with quality, environmental, and safety standards, we’d love to hear from you. Apply to be part of a team that blends innovation with the heritage of one of the world’s largest family-owned wineries.
