Weโre partnered with a branded and private label FMCG snacking business thatโs searching for a Commercial Director to lead the UK operation. The portfolio is genuinely impressive, multiple brands across a range of product categories, with some enjoying global recognition.
The UK business is currently turning over ยฃ35m, with a clear and ambitious plan to double in size. Growth isnโt limited to existing customers either, this business is constantly exploring new territories and channels while already working with all Top 6 retailers. Despite this, there remains significant headroom within those accounts.
The team? Absolutely solid in skillset, but I need someone who wants to not just get their hands dirty but someone who wants to develop and grow a team. This role is all about strategy and leadership.
And yesโฆ there genuinely isnโt a catch. If you want a future bigger role than this, get applying as it doesnโt just stop here.
This is a true leadership and strategy role. Youโll own the full UK commercial agenda, driving sustainable growth while developing and elevating an already capable team. The team is strong from a capability perspective whatโs needed now is a Commercial Director who wants to:
Set and execute the UK commercial strategy
Lead, coach and develop senior commercial talent
Identify and unlock new channels, customers and territories
Play a key role in shaping the long-term direction of the business
Yes, youโll still need to roll your sleeves up, but this role is far more about direction, leadership and impact than day to day account firefighting.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
A genuinely high-growth FMCG business with strong values
Impressive brand portfolio across branded & private label
Clear, credible ambition to double the UK business
Senior leadership visibility and influence
A platform role with significant future progression beyond this position
And no, there genuinely isnโt a catch. If youโre looking for a Commercial Director role that leads to something even bigger, this is one you should be acting on.
