Role - Export Manager - Growing UK Food Brand

Location - North of England (home based)

Salary - 50000 - 60000 + Commission/bonus & benefits

It's not every day you get the opportunity to grow your own export division of a hugely successful UK branded food business .

Would you relish a fully autonomous role growing the brand in Europe with major retailers and foodservice customers?

Do have passion for high quality food, bursting with intense flavour across a broad range of products, with fantastic branding that leaps off the shelves/menu at you all within a business known for their innovation and product development??

Well, this may just be the role for you

This family owned food manufacturer has experienced rapid growth over the last 5 years with their fantastic range of chilled meat and meat-free products. They have consistently been named in the Fast Track 100 food manufacturing companies and are now stocked in every major supermarket in the UK. This has led to recent investment in a new production facility and a business that now employs over 120 people.

The next phase of growth involves export. They know this won't be easy and that's why they are seeking a true expert within international/export food sales. They know the challenges in growing a business within UK retailers are different to those based internationally. But they really believe in their brand and truly feel that with the right person at the helm, their product can be as popular abroad as it is in our own shores.

Realistically the role of Export Manager is likely to appeal to those with a real passion for business development as you really would be coming in at the beginning of this next phase of growth. You'll need to be involved in the strategy and tactics required to attract some big names in the industry either direct to retail or via a network of distributors. Luckily, we know the product lines are in a massive growth market, so you have a great head start.

Perhaps you've had prior experience of growing export channels with FMCG with good demonstrable success?

Ideally, you'll be based in the Midlands or North of England, although this is predominantly a home-based position with lots of international travel. You can expect to be paid in the region of 50,000 - 60,000 (or above this is entirely flexible based on experience) with a commission/bonus structure based on new business.

Moreover, you will be getting involved in something from the ground up, the possibility to grow your own division, your own team, work on getting new products out there on to people's dinner tables! Exciting, right?
