Job Details

With a fast-growth branded offering that is well-aligned with todays health conscious, on-the-go consumer market, our client is a business that has enjoyed impressive growth over a short period of time.

Having successfully secured listings in all but one of the UK major grocery retailers to date, they have made a big impression in a short space of time.

A typical fast-growth business environment still operating with a start-up mentality, the business offers a dynamic, fun and hugely regarding environment for those keen to accelerate their career growth swiftly.

Due to the growth they’ve enjoyed the business is looking to recruit a Commercial Manager to play the lead role with all grocery retail customers, as well as assume responsibility for mentoring 3/4 direct reports operating at NAE level and in a field sales capacity.

In order to succeed in this position, it is important that any successful candidate is able to demonstrate success whilst managing at least one grocery retail account within a branded, FMCG environment.

You will have the level of experience required to operate in an autonomous environment and be ready to assume man-management responsibility.

This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in an ever-expanding business and accelerate your career to Controller level.  If you are looking for a challenge outside the normal remit of an Account Manager role, and believe you have the personal drive and character to succeed in an entrepreneurial branded food environment, please make contact with us via the details provided soon.

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.
