Supplying ambient, chilled and frozen products across all channels they have a proven track record of intelligent acquisition and developing on-trend offerings for today’s consumers, which has led them to achieve significant growth at a healthy rate.

 

Because of this achieved growth, the business offers a fantastic platform for those wanting to learn and develop a career in FMCG sales, with regular career-progression opportunities on offer to high-performers.

 

The business is currently looking to recruit a Commercial Executive to manage internal/external cross functional relationships between NPD, technical, commercial and sales departments whilst supporting the National Account Manager on accounts. Reporting into the Commercial Manager you will manage projects from concept to shelf whilst being the main contact with customers on product changes, developments and new tenders.

 

The successful candidate should have a creative, innovative and hands on skill set equalled with determination to succeed and an ambitious drive.

 

The background of the successful candidate is open to possibilities, with the necessity to stem from a food and beverage FMCG manufacturing background currently operating at a National Account Executive or Commercial Executive level.

 

If you feel you are a cut above the rest and tick all the boxes for my clients requirements then please get in touch.

 

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.
