Job Description
Our client, a dynamic, growing FMCG organisation, is working with us exclusively to source a strategic yet hands-on Head of Sales and Marketing to lead their dedicated team. This is a pivotal role where you will own the commercial agenda, drive growth, and shape strategy in a fast-paced environment.
Following a substantial and highly successful tenure, the current Head of Sales and Marketing is moving on, creating a rare opportunity for a proven leader to step into a complex and rewarding role with significant influence.
The Role: Lead, Execute, Transform.
* This is not a back-seat strategic role. You will be at the sharp end, combining leadership with execution to deliver results.
* We are seeking a candidate who can lead and motivate, providing extensive line management, coaching, and motivation to a high-performing team across Sales and Marketing.
* You will take full P&L responsibility for your channels, devising and executing plans that drive sustainable growth. You will be a natural problem solver with the ability to adopt the "sleeves-up" mentality to overcome challenges, improve processes, and remove barriers.
* Fully shaping the strategy in this agile setting, you will have a direct voice in developing commercial and category strategy, with the freedom to implement change.
* Being able to build key relationships will be huge part of this role, as you will manage and grow critical partnerships with major UK retail accounts.
* We are looking for resilience, energy, and a proven track record within FMCG.
Our ideal candidate will have:
* Deep FMCG Retail expertise with a strong commercial background. You will have extensive experience working with major retailers such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Morrisons.
* Proven leadership abilities with a passion for developing teams and fostering a collaborative, high-energy environment.
* A "Doer" mentality with a hands-on, resilient attitude. You thrive in a full-on role, are comfortable with complexity, and are motivated by solving problems directly.
* A history of commitment and delivery in previous roles, demonstrating loyalty and impact.
