Job Details
Working as part of the UK team, the UK Head of Sales will lead on all elements of the brand's commercial strategy footprint, delivering the sales objectives, whilst inputting into the commercial arm of our product development and category management.
Reporting to the Co-Founder based internationally, you will recruit and manage your Sales Team to work with you to drive the UK’s success.
The position will work closely across a number of functions across the organisation but in particular will work collaboratively with the UK Brand Manager to develop and deliver disruptive trade marketing strategies to grow the brand in the UK to achieve our growth plans.
The brand is fairly new in to the UK market, already listed with Ocado, so your responsibility will be to gain listings with the UK & Ire major grocers, continue building ecommerce, and utilise your Field Sales team to build the brand from the ground up.
After just 3 years of trading, they are already approaching £30million worldwide turnover and a continuing to push triple growth year on year, after building a strong foothold across Europe.
Think about the growth of Innocent and Vita Coco. This brand is next. They have some huge, heavy-weight investment behind them, which is ready to push the brand forward into becoming a household name.
If you join this business, medium-term this role is guaranteed to progress into the UK General Manager once you have proved your worth. Imagine that on your CV.
Don't miss out on this opportunity, and give me a call on 07543 184009. Alternatively, drop me an email with your CV to 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.
