Job Details
We’re recruiting for a fantastic SME aiming to deliver exceptional growth as the second phase of their ambitious growth plan. They have a fantastic portfolio of brands aimed at the ever-growing, health-conscious consumer market; with their products offering a healthier alternative to current leading brands within their category.
We have been asked to recruit for a newly created Head of Commercial role within their structure, reporting directly to the founder of the business. This will be a highly autonomous leadership role that allows you stamp your own mark on a business already expecting a hugely exciting adventure ahead of them.
We need an ambitious, dedicated and fun candidate who will fit within an already positive and creative environment and develop, implement and own the commercial growth strategy in close collaboration with the founder.
This business has all the foundations to be ‘next big thing’, meaning this appointment is critical for the founder.
The role will suit those currently operating within any fast-growth / health-focussed SME business environment, as well as those currently operating at a slightly more junior level within larger branded environments but looking for ‘that opportunity’ to gain leadership and influence within a smaller business and to be rewarded for your efforts with an equity stake in the business, ensuring significant reward when the business is sold.
You will be able to demonstrate your successful track record to date (across multiple customer channels) and why you are the right person to lead the business through the next stage of its growth cycle.
You will be comfortable operating within a SME environment and applying a ‘hands on’ style when it comes to dealing with customer contact and internal project management.
So, if you are looking for an opportunity to operate as SMT level be recognised as the catalyst behind the future growth of this hugely exciting impact brand, we are keen to discuss your suitability further.
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.
