COMMERCIAL MANAGER – PRIVATE LABEL

£ Competitive salary package incl. bonus, quality car & benefits.

Based – Gloucester

SHS Sales & Marketing is the UK’s market-leading, privately-owned, sales and marketing outsourcing company. Part of the SHS Group it continues to grow both organically and through the acquisition of new clients and brands. The company’s  Private Label division supplies a growing portfolio of own label products across ambient categories in all trade channels including Grocery Multiples, Convenience Retail, Wholesale and Foodservice.

We are now seeking to expand the Private Label team with the appointment of a Commercial Manager.

With a broad remit your role will be to manage the commercial interface between the business and its key European manufacturing partners. Your performance has a direct impact on the development and profitability of the business so you’ll have plenty to do. The role is high profile and you will work closely with colleagues in Category and Customer Marketing,  NPD,  Finance and Manufacturing as well as senior management. In addition to this you will be part of a company that supports and develops its people so there will be future opportunities for you, too. 

Of graduate calibre you’ll need previous FMCG sales or marketing experience gained in an own-label food or drink environment. With a good knowledge of the Top 4 Grocery Multiples and a real passion for building business, you will be commercially astute, financially savvy and have an in-depth understanding of own-label NPD and manufacturing processes.

You may already have an impressive track record gained at NAM/SNAM level and now seeking a fresh challenge. Alternatively, your own-label experience may have been gained from working in a site-based Commercial or Operations role in a recognised FMCG business.  Reflecting the forward thinking nature of the company, we would also consider you if you have a background in Technical roles based around driving Innovation and NPD.  Either way, you must have a truly engaging personality and real drive to get things done.

The job role is based at the company’s Gloucester Head Office with regular travel required both in the UK and Europe.

If you think you’ve got what it takes and are ultimately keen to develop a career with a leading, growing FMCG company then please click on the apply button giving details of your current salary package in a covering note. Alternatively, email your cv to colin@smithcarey.co.uk and quoting reference number CB/1607. 

Closing Date for applications : 2nd October 2014
