Head of Grocery; Chilled

I’m working with a rapidly expanding chilled food business that’s entering an exciting new phase of growth and innovation. They’re now hiring a Head of Grocery to lead a major new product launch and drive their next stage of commercial success.

This is an end to end role, you will be the first employee within a new business unit and this role would appealing to someone who wants an end-end broad role with the scope to quickly scale into a cross functional team.

• Leading the launch of new chilled products into grocery.
• Driving revenue growth and delivering against sales and P&L targets.
• Developing new customer accounts and unlocking new commercial opportunities.
• Managing and growing relationships with major grocery retailers.
• Developing a cross functional team to focus on chilled.

• Proven track record of success either in Commercial Sales or Retail Buying.
• Must have experience of the chilled category.
• Must have experience with top 4 supermarkets.
• Experience owning sales strategy, customer relationships and P&L.
• A commercially sharp, hands-on leader who enjoys building things from the ground up.

This role would ideally suit a Senior National Account Manager / Head of Grocery who is looking for a new challenge or potentially a Head of Buying / Category Director from a retailer looking to make a career change.
