Job Details

Join a team with a fresh approach!

The Del Monte brand is one of the best known food brands in the world with an outstanding reputation for high quality across a wide range of products.  We believe that each of our employees contributes directly to the maintenance of that image and to the growth and success of the organisation.

The worldwide mission of the Company is to be the leading supplier of fresh produce, beverages and canned fruit in every market in which we operate and without the inclusive efforts of all employees within our organisation this will not be possible. 

We are looking to grow our teams with people who share our energy and enthusiasm for creating the best experience for our customers.

As a substantial business with strong presence across multiple categories, Del Monte impacts all customer channels and ultimately us as every day consumers in a major way.

The brand, with a strong focus on fresh, health driven, ‘on-the-go’ offerings are well aligned with the ever increasing demands of todays more savvy consumers.

As a result of business growth, we are looking to identify hungry and career-focussed talent keen to develop a career in National Account Management.  As a Commercial Executive you provide day-to-day support for 2 senior account managers. You will be exposed to and work closely with all commercial functions within the business - from sales and category management, to brand marketing and new product development – to help you quickly gain experience and knowledge of how these different functions work alongside each other.

Whilst learning your trade and supporting the above functions on a daily basis, the business will look at various initiatives to help you quickly develop your skill set further.

This role presents the ideal opportunity for those looking for an entry level commercial career opportunity in fresh prepared fruit manufacturing.  After a period of time in this position you will have gained the vital knowledge and skills required to further advance your career and manage your own customer accounts.

We expect high levels of interest in this role, so those of graduate calibre able to demonstrate strong analytical ability and 12 months+ experience working in an FMCG environment will be considered as strong applicants for the role.

So if you have the hunger and drive to develop your career in commercial channels, coupled with an interest / passion for the UK food industry, please submit your current CV and supporting cover letter 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.
