This role is exciting.

No, trust me, it is - and that's not just recruiter-talk.

We're helping one of the UK's most exciting challenger brands in finding their newest team member - an International Business Manager.

Due to their continued growth, they are now looking to recruit an International Sales Manager position to take full ownership of the brand's export portfolio, including: Ireland, Austria, Malta, the Baltics, Iceland, Denmark, Slovenia, Switzerland, *deep breath*, Italy, Portugal, Finland, Turkey, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, and the UAE...

The brand, as it stands, uses a mostly distributer model across the world, however are striving to progress into direct to retail strategy - something the successful candidate will be pivotal in driving.

They produce a number of health-orientated products, and are on a mission to take on the 'big boys' in FMCG. They're leading a revolution, with their products containing no ingredients you can't pronounce, they're 100% organic, packed full of vitamins, and contain absolutely nothing artificial.

You must be hugely ambitious, driven and have a desire to be part of the bigger picture. This brand is incredibly fast growing, and still in its infancy, so now is the perfect time to get involved and be equally rewarded as it continues to grow.

The ideal person will come from start-up or blue-chip background, with a passion for getting out of the office and making things happen.

If you believe you have all the attributes and ability to exceed in this fast paced, rewarding environment – give me (Matt) 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.
