Job Details
Based West Midlands with flexibility to work from home 2 days per week
£six figure package + bonus + LTIP
My client is a fast growing, Private Equity backed SME with its own manufacturing facilities and a high quality portfolio of FMCG brands. Exceptional recent growth has been driven by product superiority and rapid distribution gains in a sector dominated by major brands supported by large multinationals. All new customers have enjoyed category growth as a result of listings and the portfolio benefits from strong health and wellness credentials against its competition.
This is the classic "David vs Goliath" opportunity. It will appeal to anyone seeking to gain experience of PE, truly own the full marketing and product agenda and test themselves in a small, highly entrepreneurial business with limited budgets and big ambition! Future growth will come from a combination of:
- faster customer acquisition (especially in the Grocers)
- continued product innovation
- building strong equity and brand awareness … making them "famous"
Our brief is to identify passionate, bright and high energy FMCG marketing leaders with a natural feel for branding and the consumer. You'll have an entrepreneurial attitude towards business and the ambition to lead a brand explosion as a player-manager. A self-starter with a restless dissatisfaction of the status quo, you will approach your work with a continuous improvement mentality.
In summary, we're looking for a well-rounded and well trained Senior Manager or Director seeking to break free from "corporate shackles" and with the confidence and adaptability to test themselves in a small business environment.
This is a highly focused search and applications from candidates without significant experience of FMCG brand marketing in the UK will not be considered.
Company

Working from offices in Leeds and Manchester, our team of highly experienced Consultants have built relationships with a wide range of companies in the North West, Yorkshire and the Midlands as well as elsewhere in the UK.
In many cases we are preferred supplier to these businesses operating on an exclusive basis. We operate at all levels from graduate through to Director and our team are widely acknowledged as specialists in their chosen vertical markets.At Better Placed we focus on our candidates as much as our clients and we understand that failure to do so will slow the rapid growth that we have seen since our inception in 2002. Our track record of maintaining long term relationships with both candidates and clients is testament to how seriously we take this and is a fundamental part of what we stand for.
