Job Details
As a firmly established category leader operating within on-trend categories such as ‘healthy snacking for children’, our client offers a hugely rewarding environment for those driven by innovation and health.
The business we represent operates in some of the most on-trend categories across the food industry at present – such as ‘healthy snacking for children’ – and offers a highly rewarding environment for its employees.
Recognised as an innovative trend-setter within their respective categories, they also boast one of the industry’s best reputations for offering career progression opportunities to performers. Indeed, many of their existing senior managers initially joined this business in junior capacities and have since worked their way up.
They are currently looking to recruit a Commercial Executive to provide day0to-day support on their two largest customer accounts.
The role is the ideal platform for ambitious individuals looking to develop a career in sales in FMCG, whilst operating within a highly-regarded business.
The role will provide a significant amount of customer exposure and help develop your project management skills as you work across different internal functions such and NPD, supply chain, brand marketing, technical etc, under the day-to-day guidance of a Senior National Account Manager (Grocery).
Whilst ideally suited to those already operating within sales in the food and beverage sector, ambitious individuals working in food in different disciplines – NPD, Category, Supply Chain, Technical etc – but keen to develop a career in the commercial world are also encouraged to apply.
To succeed it is important applicants demonstrate an appreciation of food and beverage manufacturing. Due to the nature of the role, fluency with data / and report writing would also be advantageous.
So if you are an ambitious person looking to develop a career in sales in food manufacturing, 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.
