This key appointment will work closely with the senior commercial/operational leaders, Sales & Marketing and Supply Chain as well as highly visible collaboration with the CFO and rest of the C-Suite.

You will demonstrate a natural ability to challenge the status quo and drive continuous improvement through delivery of ongoing business development initiatives.
