Job Details

Are you an experienced Sales Controller / Account / Business Unit Director level candidate looking for a fresh challenge to reignite your excitement in 2019?

We have today been asked to exclusively represent a key client in their search for a new National Account Controller, and we couldn’t be happier.

Having made several appointments with this business over recent years, we appreciate first-hand just how rewarding an environment it provides for its team, with each thoroughly enjoying their time there (ALL STILL THERE!) and a handful progressing their career internally within their first 12 months of joining.

They’re big advocates of providing home-working flexibility to support those with other commitments, incentivise with generous bonus schemes that actually pay out (!), and provide clear succession planning / career development opportunities for those who perform.

Indeed, it is as a result of planned succession planning that we’ve been asked to go to market on their behalf.

As National Account Controller you will report directly to the Sales Director and be responsible for multi-customer-channel strategy and leading / developing a team of Business Account Managers / Executives.

As a supplier of some fantastic brands as well as a significant private label offering, their products are viewed as a convenient and healthy on-the-go range, premium in product quality, and perfect for today’s busy consumer needs.

Also looking to grow through international acquisition alongside forecast organic UK growth, you should feel confident (we’re from Yorkshire after all!) when we say they offer one of the best environments to stamp your personal style in an influential role here and position yourself for short-to-medium term career progression opportunities.

For a confidential chat, please make contact to discuss 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.
