Ready to become the strategic leader you’re destined to be?

So, what now?
Lead the way as the Head of Commercial at a leading food-to-go manufacturer, developing the commercial strategy whilst developing multi-million pound retail accounts to enable not only further growth for the business, but also your remit.
This isn’t a role where you’ll be given the vision, it’s about you setting the vision! Building strong relationships with some of the UK major retailers and leading a team across commercial, NPD and category management to deliver best-in-class products.
This will be a high impact role within the business, reporting directly to the MD. Combining this with the autonomy that you will have within the role, you will have all the tools to steer the business to success.
Being part of a small team will come with its unique challenges, however, it’s an opportunity to take all that you’ve learnt and really make a difference.
Albeit being situated locally would be great, however, if you aren’t on the doorstep, it’s not the end of the world as the business offer a great hybrid working flexibility.
