Job Details
Our client is looking to identify their next Commercial Director to assume full responsibility for all commercial functions within the business.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this is a highly influential and visible role within the senior management team assuming total responsibility for all sales, marketing, NPD, packaging and commercial finance functions.
The business is a leading supplier of chilled, value-add private label foods and is looking to identify candidates who are currently delivering results within similar manufacturing environments.
With plans in place for the current Managing Director to progress in to a different role, the business is also looking to identify somebody capable of succeeding them and progressing in to General Management.
The business has a big emphasis on developing its own talent and succession planning, and this presents the ideal opportunity for ambitious individuals currently operating at Controller or Director level to deliver results and further develop their career in reward.
It is important that applicants can demonstrate a strong record of success whilst supplying the leading grocery retailers, with knowledge / exposure to other customer channels also being important.
A proven record of leading and developing cross-functional teams will strengthen any application, however experience developing sales teams is a prerequisite.
So if you are looking for a fresh challenge and opportunity to develop your career to general management in return for good performance, please get in touch for a confidential conversation with our Director, Rob Hawes, via the details provided.
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.
