Convenience Controller

Yorkshire / Midlands / South

£highly-competitive + bonus + car + executive benefits

 

With a leading portfolio of grocery brands familiar to us all, our client is firmly established as the major category influencers and market leaders in their field.

Their brands hold prime positions on the shelves of all major UK grocery, convenience, wholesale and discounter arenas and are widely recognised for their above-the-line marketing campaigns.

The business has achieved credible double-digit growth for consecutive years, and continues to reinvest in leading edge support and technology to support future growth ambitions. 

The business is looking to recruit a high-profile Sales Controller to provide strategic direction, leadership and management of the Convenience and Wholesale channel.

There are some significant opportunities and ‘wins’ to be achieved in the Convenience and Wholesale channel, and this role will play a key role in driving sales activities to make significant contributions towards overall company growth and profitability targets.

Reporting directly to the Sales Director, the role will assume responsibility for direct reports with scope to recruit and strengthen your team in the short to medium term.

You will work closely with the Sales Director to devise and implement an effective sales channel and customer strategy to achieve top and bottom line sales growth and customer retention.

It is important that successful applicants are able to demonstrate strong knowledge of the Convenience and Wholesale channel.  You will have a proven record of implementing strategy to achieve profitable sales growth whilst operating within branded food / beverage / FMCG arenas.

Company

For over a decade now, Food Industry Associates Ltd have proven to be a recruiter of choice for ambitious SME food and beverage manufacturers across the UK.  We don't recruit for the big corporates by choice.  Instead, we choose to work with companies with personality, entrepreneurial flare (not process), looking to disrupt the market with cutting edge innovation to provide consumers with better, healthier choices.

Are you an early stage start-up struggling to find the right solution to help you gain your fist listings in a specific customer channel before you can raise the budget to employ somebody on a permanent basis?  Maybe you know you need to source a commercial leader but aren't 100% clear in what format, or how to adequately incentivise somebody from a much larger business to join your mission?  Come speak to us.

If you're a more established business looking to bring fresh talent on board to drive ambitious sales targets, source a creative innovator to help you drive in to new extended categories, or looking to strengthen in marketing / category terms, again, come speak to us.

We've a proven record in recruiting talent for an array of businesses, helping them source commercial talent to help them achieve their goals.  From early stage sales talent through to equity-incentivised leadership roles, we've proven time and time again to find the right people for our clients at the first attempt.  

How are we different to most of our competitors?  Unlike most, we don't have as diverse a portfolio of clients we work with.  However all those we do work with continuously come back to us whenever they next have another need.  In our opinion successful recruitment is achieved when two businesses truly 'partner' and collaborate together.  In our opinion the better we know you, the better we understand all the extra elements aside from simple skillset and experience to ensure the right 'fit' is identified at the first attempt.  In our opinion, this is recruitment, done properly.
