FMCG – Commercial, Sales & Marketing Recruitment – Edinburgh/Hybrid – £40k–£45k base – Up to 35% commission
Some recruiters chase speed.
Others play the long game.
This one’s for the latter.
This isn’t churn-and-burn FMCG recruitment. You’ll be filling strategic, high-value roles at £60k–£100k base across sales, marketing and commercial functions for top FMCG brands and challengers navigating inflation, trade uncertainty and changing consumer habits.
Roles like:
* National Account Manager – Grocery
* Brand & Marketing Manager – D2C
* Category Manager – UK/EU Retailers
* E-commerce Lead – Consumer Health
* Commercial Controller – Own Label
* Shopper Marketing Manager – Food & Drink
These roles take time. Longer cycles. Bigger fees - £12k–£15k with top placements hitting £20k+.
At up to 35% commission, that’s serious money in your pocket.
Bill £18k in a quarter = unlock 35%.
Bill £62k = £17,200 commission.
Join a 13-person team in central Edinburgh. It’s collaborative, high-performing, with no politics. Founders still bill. High autonomy.
You’ll:
* Own and grow your market
* Build long-term relationships
* Keep your pipeline strong
* Deliver value without shortcuts
Hybrid role: 3–4 days in the office after probation.
What they need:
Experience in recruiting sales, marketing or commercial roles (ideally in FMCG). You’ll care about doing things right. Building relationships and securing real earnings.
