Job Details

With over 100 years’ experience, this company is a dynamic business that manages a wide portfolio of premium food and drink brands in the UK and internationally.

A commitment to a continued and ambitious programme of growth and expansion within the organisation has created the need to further strengthen the Export Team with the appointment  of a new Export Manager.

Reporting directly to the  Sales Controller this opportunity  will empower an individual to develop existing accounts and identify new business opportunities in Europe, Middle East and Far East.  You will be responsible for  the development  and  implementation  of strategic  business and account plans in line with the business and deliver agreed targets and objectives to achieve annual sales turnover and profit plans.  Furthermore you will be building constructive working relationships with the Sales and Brands Team and Customer  Service  department.

The successful candidate should be strategically minded, with the ability to translate these sales strategies into operational objectives and activities; analytical, numerate and a good communicator, with a high level of negotiation and presentation skills. An understanding of category management would also be really useful. With particular focus on specific countries, the ability to speak a foreign language would be useful but not essential.

You will ideally have a proven track record operating as an Export Manager within a recognised FMCG Food and Drink organisation. We will also consider a National Accounts Manager with some current/previous Export experience.  This role will be highly visible within the business and genuine career development opportunities exist within the group.

Interested? To apply, email your CV with a covering letter outlining relevant experience and skills to our Consultants at Ashwood quoting ref: 2157.
