We are working exclusively with a fast-growing, disruptive and on-trend branded food business. We are searching for a Commercial Manager to complement and work closely with the Commercial Director.

They are a business supplying a portfolio of on-trend, health-conscious categories into all of the ‘top 6’ and are progressing through a significant period of growth at present. Supported heavily by a major innovation and marketing budget, the business is anticipating a busy and prosperous year ahead.

With this in mind, they have identified the need to recruit an entrepreneurial and ambitious Commercial Manager to support the experienced Commercial Director with day-to-day client contact.

As Commercial Manager, you will gain fantastic exposure to all aspects of FMCG sales, and develop a strong understanding of different systems and ways of managing different customer accounts across the grocery retail channel.

Ambitious, and with experience across category or similar, you will be presented with the ideal opportunity to learn from an experienced Director whilst developing the necessary ‘hands’-on’ skill set needed to push your career to the next level and beyond.

Make no mistakes, this role is ideal for anybody happy to throw themselves in to a business environment where efforts and results can be rewarded with swift career development opportunities.

The ideal candidate will come from a branded, new and on-trend start-up environment, with category experience. Experienced with any of the ‘top 6’, you will need to be very analytical, have an excellent level of attention to detail and be confident in presenting/communicating at all levels.

If you believe you have the ability and drive to exceed in a fast paced, rewarding environment – give me a call on 07543 184009 to discuss further. matthew@foodindustryassociates.com

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.
