Job Details

Experienced and passionate dairy professional needed to introduce, launch and get listed a range of award winning dairy products from an award winning European supplier.

UK Sales Manager - Cheese

London based

45,000 - 65,000 DOE + benefits + bonus + Car

One of the largest and most advanced milk processing companies in Lithuania - AB EMAITIJOS PIENAS - counts its history since 1924. They have an unrivalled reputation for quality this is emphasised through the legendary D IUGAS cheese they produce which has become a winner of many national and international exhibitions. In the Superior Taste Award competition in Brussels this cheese was twice (in 2011 and in 2013) awarded two stars out of three for its first impression, taste, smell, texture, and appearance. In May 2013, this legendary cheese also reigned over the Asian continent. In the International Food and Beverage Exhibition SIAL China Dziugas was awarded Sial Inovation 2013 Grand Prix.

Zemaitijos Pienas are one of the largest and modern dairy processing companies in the Baltic States. Listed across Continental and Eastern Europe their cheeses (namely the Dziugas brand) have won many awards (some in the UK). As the business evolves and grows they have identified the UK as the next market to establish their brands within.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a dairy specialist. You will have complete ownership of the launch strategy with the end goal being to gain listings with major grocers as well as smaller retailers and in the long term across the channel and throughout foodservice as well.

You will be supported in your endeavours by a highly skilled and very experienced Category, NPD and Production team. Equally, sophisticated supply chain and logistics teams are ready to make sure you can deliver to your customers on time.

The companies' first goal is to establish contacts and eventually listings with the top 6 UK retailers. Therefore we are seeking someone who understands how they operate, what the process is with each to launch new products and gain listings. You will use your expertise and network to establish and build these relationships with the opportunity being that in the medium term you will assume the role of head of the UK business unit as you develop with the company.

To perfect profile for this role looks like this; 10-20 years FMCG food experience with a focus on dairy within the grocery channel. If you have worked for international business importing products in to the UK that would be ideal, as would a track record of gaining new listings with the top 6 supermarkets in the UK.

Whilst we would like to respond to all our on-line applicants, regrettably we are unable to do so due to the high volumes we receive. If you’ve not heard from us within two weeks, unfortunately on this occasion your application has been unsuccessful.
