About the Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a fast-growing FMCG business operating within one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding segments of the Food & Beverage manufacturing industry.

The role requires a blend of commercial acumen, analytical capability, strategic thinking, and strong relationship management skills.

• Work closely with distribution partners to improve rate of sale, execution standards, and overall commercial performance.
• Develop and implement strategies to increase sales across Retail, Convenience, Foodservice, and Health Store channels.
• Create and maintain commercial reporting tools, dashboards, and performance metrics.
• Support forecasting, promotional planning, and wider commercial planning activities.
• Conduct regular market and customer visits to gain insight into shopper behaviour, customer needs, and execution opportunities.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to ensure commercial strategies are effectively implemented.
• Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and category developments to identify opportunities for growth.
• Contribute to the ongoing development and scaling of the business as it enters its next phase of growth.

The ideal candidate will be:

• Highly ambitious with a strong commitment to personal and professional development.
• A self-starter who takes ownership and demonstrates initiative.
• Commercially astute with strong strategic thinking capabilities.
• Analytical, data-driven, and motivated by solving complex business challenges.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where adaptability is essential.
• Passionate about health, wellness, nutrition, or functional food and beverage categories.
• An excellent communicator with strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills.
• Emotionally intelligent and capable of influencing a wide range of stakeholders.
• Collaborative and motivated by working within a high-performing team.
• Excited by the opportunity to build and scale a brand rather than simply manage accounts.
• Ideally experienced within an FMCG environment.

Why Apply?

• Join a business experiencing exceptional growth.
• Work within a highly ambitious and entrepreneurial team.
• Play a meaningful role in shaping the commercial direction of the company.
• Benefit from significant career progression opportunities as the business scales.
• Participate in a growth share scheme that aligns personal success with company performance.
• Be part of a business with exciting product innovation, international expansion plans, and strong long-term growth potential.

This position would suit an ambitious commercial professional seeking a hands-on role with genuine influence, responsibility, and the opportunity to grow alongside a rapidly scaling FMCG brand.
