Ready to awaken your best with us?
The Global Category Manager Lead is a senior strategic role within Emma's Global Category Product Management team. You are the long-term owner of one of Emma's core product categories — Mattresses or Accessories/Beds/Linen — and are responsible for defining where the category should play and how it should win at a global level.
This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that connects consumer insight, market intelligence, and business priorities into a coherent portfolio architecture, innovation pipeline, and multi-year product roadmap. You work hand-in-hand with R&D, Marketing, Finance, and regional teams to ensure Emma builds the right products, at the right price, for the right consumers — consistently and globally.
In a context where Emma is rebuilding its category strategy foundations and closing critical gaps in portfolio steering, pricing logic, and product truth, this role is central to delivering the transformation.

Direct-to-consumer, German-engineered mattresses online
Emma Sleep designs and sells high-quality sleep products, including the Emma Original mattress and related sleep accessories. The core mattress uses a multi-layer foam construction with over 100 points of support to distribute body weight, relieve pressure, and maintain good edge support, and it suits back, side, and stomach sleepers with customizable comfort. The company operates primarily online, selling direct to consumers and offering fast shipping (typically 3–5 business days) across Europe and beyond. Its differentiators include German engineering, a focus on pressure relief and spinal alignment, and a direct-to-consumer, online-first model that supports easy, direct purchasing. The goal is to provide premium, comfortable sleep solutions that promote health and well-being while expanding access to their products through international markets.
