About this contract

Do you have a track record of managing relationships with the UK's major grocery retailers? And are you looking for a role where you'll lead a small, close-knit sales team while sitting on the Management Team itself?

We're recruiting for a well-established, premium FMCG brand based in Norwich, looking for a commercially sharp Sales Manager to cover maternity leave for 12-15 months. This is a genuine leadership role, not a caretaker position – reporting directly to the MD, you'll own the sales function across all channels: retail, export, wholesale, foodservice and direct-to-consumer.

You'll take the lead on key account relationships, commercial negotiations and annual trading agreements, while also shaping sales strategy, forecasts and new business pipeline. Alongside this, you'll coach and develop a small team, keeping performance on track without losing the collaborative culture this business is known for.

This one will suit someone with solid FMCG experience and proven grocery retailer relationships – confectionery or premium food background is a strong plus. It's a fully office-based role with very occasional travel for shows and events. Four-day week considered for the right person, pro-rated.

Please reach out to Emma or Jade NOW if you think this sounds like you
