Job Details
Our client is a UK leader in its sector, supplying a variety of ambient snacking and food products to the UK and international markets. They supply premium and high quality products direct to the retailers, and supply their products as an ingredient / food component in further processing in both the UK and globally. The business can demonstrate an enviable supply chain with a focus on product traceability and speed to factory, and this gives them an USP which consistently wins them new business and opportunities. The trend of healthy eating and the health conscious shopper means this organisation is poised to continue its growth and success, and they have identified a number of opportunities with which to capitalise on.
To ensure these plans are executed and the business realises its ambitious growth plan, they are looking to appoint a Sales Manager for the International Markets. This role will take full responsibility for the existing international customers, whilst also identifying opportunities for growth, building a plan for each market including product and distribution and playing a key role in the delivery of the growth strategy.
You will be an experienced operator in the food sector, with a track record of developing business and relationships internationally. You will be passionate about the sector, and be able to communicate effectively with customers to ensure you build robust relationships. The right person will understand the current trends in the market, and have the ability to analyse data and identify opportunities to growth, and most importantly execute these plans. Knowledge or experience of selling food products into food manufacturers and through distributors would be advantageous, but most importantly you will have the attitude and capability to work autonomously and thrive in a past paced, ambitious and entrepreneurial environment.
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.
