Cover letter sampleDear Hiring Team,

I am excited to apply for the Category Manager – Health & Wellness, Lifestyle role at Gopuff. With experience owning CPG category performance, assortment strategy, pricing, and supplier relationships, I can help build compelling selections that improve sales, availability, and margin.

I bring a data-driven approach to category planning, using customer insights, competitive pricing, and operational performance to make practical decisions across markets. I would welcome the opportunity to partner with Supply Chain, distributors, suppliers, and digital merchandising teams to deliver a strong customer experience in Gopuff’s fast-paced environment.

Thank you for your consideration; I look forward to discussing how my merchandising and commercial expertise can support Team Blue.

Copy   Sample interview questionsHow would you evaluate and improve the performance of an underperforming Health & Wellness category?I would start with category sales, gross margin, unit velocity, in-stock rate, assortment penetration, and price competitiveness. I would segment results by market, customer behavior, and product class, then identify whether the opportunity is assortment rationalization, price adjustment, promotional support, or supply improvement. I would test changes in priority markets and scale actions that improve both customer value and contribution margin.

Describe your approach to building an assortment strategy for multiple local markets.

I use a structured scorecard that considers sales velocity, margin, consumer demand, differentiation, supply reliability, minimum order requirements, and strategic relevance. I combine syndicated and internal customer data with competitive research to validate the opportunity. For new items, I set success metrics and review periods so decisions to expand, adjust, or discontinue are evidence-based.

How do you manage supplier and distributor relationships while protecting availability and margin?

I would establish regular business reviews with clear scorecards covering fill rate, lead times, inventory health, pricing, promotions, and issue resolution. I focus negotiations on mutual value, such as assortment expansion, promotional funding, better terms, or improved service levels. When supply risk emerges, I communicate early, assess alternatives, and prioritize customer-critical items.

How would you make a pricing decision when competitors are discounting similar products?

I evaluate competitive price indexes, elasticity, unit economics, customer value perception, and category margin targets before making a recommendation. Rather than applying broad changes, I distinguish known-value items from less price-sensitive products and consider market-level differences. I monitor results after implementation and adjust quickly if volume or margin performance does not meet expectations.

Tell us how you would drive alignment across cross-functional partners when a category decision is urgent.

In a prior category-management situation, I would align stakeholders around a concise decision document: the customer problem, data, financial impact, operational constraints, options, and recommended action. I would identify the decision owner, set a deadline, and make trade-offs explicit. This keeps teams moving quickly while ensuring Supply Chain, Legal, suppliers, and merchandising partners understand their responsibilities.

The Category Manager for Home Care, Health & Wellness, and Lifestyle will be responsible for managing the P&L, assortment, pricing, and marketing of these departments across Gopuff’s network. We are looking for a seasoned Merchant with a proven track record of owning a CPG category who is an opportunistic and product-focused Merchant capable of partnering with cross-functional partners (ie. Supply Chain, Distributors, Suppliers, legal, and Digital Merchandising) to be a part of bringing to life a compelling assortment for our customers. A strong analytical background is imperative to be able to analyze data and pricing to influence strategy. It will be imperative that this person demonstrate the problem-solving and analytical skills necessary to thrive in a fast-paced and entrepreneurial environment. Gopuff takes pride in creative problem solving and in-person collaborating to make quick and informed decisions.
