Interim Commercial Manager - Foodservice
Home Based
Nottingham
£650-700 per day inside IR35
This business has a heritage and brand to be proud of. Successful in multiple channels, they now need an experienced commercial candidate to join the team to work on developing a new channel for the business and to support other projects.
There has been some progress in this channel, but it's early days. This project will need an experienced OOH foodservice commercial specialist to map out the target customer base, plan the process for the next few months, and turn that plan into reality. There will be projects in the commercial function further down the line - this opportunity needs someone who is comfortable being involved, able to strategically plan, and deliver new business while being hands-on and proactive to ensure tangible results in the long term.
With long-standing relationships and a brand to be proud of, you will be joining a motivated and switched-on team. The SLT are well engaged right across every function of the business, and commercial is no different. The business has some exciting and creative projects in the pipeline that will have a significant impact, and this role is all part of that process.
What is involved in the Interim Commercial Manager role?
* Creating the new business plan for the channel.
* Taking the lead role in the initial contact for the future delivery of that new customer base.
* Drawing on your commercial expertise and knowledge of the foodservice OOH market to bring a strategic and involved approach to the assignment.
* Working closely with New Product Development and Marketing teams.
* Preparing budgets in line with the P&L for this area of the commercial plan.
* Working closely with the Commercial Director and the wider commercial team.
* Taking the lead role in future commercial OOH projects.
* Home-based contract with one day per week to work alongside the team.
What does your background look like?
* Foodservice commercial background, ideally with OOH experience.
* Strong network in the foodservice sector.
* The ability and energy to onboard new customers and drive growth with proven, evidence-backed examples.
* Ambitious, able to integrate well with internal teams and embed into the culture of the business.
* Be a strong, upbeat communicator with outstanding presentation skills.
* Analytically competent, able to interpret data.
* Managerial experience in a previous commercial career.
Next Steps
Please get in touch with Sarah at Novus to explore this interim commercial role in more detail. If new business is your thing, and let's be honest, it's not for everyone, but if it is and making progress onboarding new customers is in your DNA, this is a great opportunity for the start of the year. This is a fast-paced, high-energy business and a great interim remit if you are able to start a new challenge in January/February. We look forward to hearing from you.
