Job Details

Our client is making a real impact in the industry at present, driving ventures in to new category areas and being recognised by several industry and customer awards over recent months.

A business investing heavily in innovation and brand marketing support alongside a n impressive recruitment drive, there is no doubt this represents an exciting time to join the business.

With a strong portfolio of household brands alongside a significant private label presence, their brands will soon be seen on television screens across the country as a means of supporting their new category ventures.

This is a business looking to achieve ambitious growth targets over the next few years, offering a hugely rewarding environment and great career progression opportunities for those helping them along their journey.

To help deliver their ambitious growth strategy the business is looking to strengthen its commercial structure with the appointment of new Commercial Manager, tasked with driving the performance of their leading discounter customers - Lidl / Aldi / Iceland.

The customers specified are of significant size and strategic importance to the business, with the likelihood of further support needed in short timescales.  This opportunity therefore presents Account Managers keen to push their career to the next level and gain management responsibility.

Ideally familiar with own label manufacturing arenas, you will be ready to utilise your strong category management ability and knowledge of NPD/Innovation to make an immediate impact and positive start whilst working for one of the UK’s most successful food manufacturing companies, with whom the rewards can be significant.

So if you are ready for a new challenge, and believe you can add value in a business aiming to make a huge impact in the UK over the next few years, we are keen to hear from you. 

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.
