Job Details

We are working with one of the UK’s leading specialist fresh produce companies and are searching for a driven Commercial Executive to help drive the business ahead and to support the Commercial Manager in further developing critical grocery customer relationships.

They are a business supplying a portfolio of tasty, premium fresh produce into retail grocery & on-trade and are progressing through a period of continued growth. Due to an internal move, they have identified the need to recruit an entrepreneurial and driven Commercial Executive.

This is an entry level commercial role which is perfect for someone who wants to progress their career further and by working for this large multi-site group there is clear opportunities for growth.

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

Based in the South East/East Midlands office with occasional travel to customer meetings on an ad hoc basis, you will be helping to support customer development plans and help manage the commercial administration within the company.

The ideal candidate will have customer contact experience working within the food industry and ideally have experience of exposure to retail customers. Fresh produce knowledge is desirable but not essential. With good IT skills, the ability to work within a team and strong interpersonal skills, this role would be ideal for anyone looking to progress themselves.

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.
