Job Description
A rare opportunity to take on this newly created role within this bakery channel with serious growth potential, in a market-leading bakery ingredients business.
This is not just a job-it's a career-defining move. For a commercial leader with a strong bakery background and upward career momentum, this role offers the opportunity to build, lead and shape a critical growth channel within a highly respected, values-driven food business.
This global business has unlocked new capability and market access, particularly within a specific bakery channel-and this role is pivotal to maximising that opportunity.
With a five-year plan in place and strong investment backing, the ambition is clear: double revenue across this channel. This role will lead the commercial strategy and execution to achieve it.
What You'll Do
-You'll hit the ground running, taking full ownership of this channel, leading both strategy and hands-on delivery
- Develop and execute commercial plans to grow the portfolios in this segment
- Drive commercial and technical engagement with customers-identifying needs, proposing value-added solutions, and ensuring long-term partnerships
- Manage relationships across the businesses to drive projects per customer and by product to a successful outcome
- Lead a team, bringing focus, energy, and high-performance standards
- Act as a key link between the recently acquired business, the parent company, and the evolving strategy for growth.
- Report on and deliver commercial outcomes-EBIT, growth targets, account development-and represent this channel at senior leadership level
What You'll Bring
Proven success in B2B sales in the bakery industry.
A strong mix of commercial drive and technical understanding-able to spot opportunities and back them with substance
High-level relationship-building skills
An ability to build the plan, not just follow one and someone who truly leads by example
Gravitas, ambition, and the ability to both think strategically and operate at pace
The hunger and humility to be out in market, not behind a desk
Why This Role?
-It's new, so you'll shape it. Not inherit it.
-You'll build a team and a legacy-within a business that's investing hard in this channel
- It's a home-working role where you will be expected to spend the majority of your time out building relationships and leading from the front.
- The channel is full of potential, with existing capability, capacity, and customers-just not yet fully realised
-If you're ambitious, commercially sharp, and know how to speak the language of bakery customers this is your chance to lead from the front, build a channel, and shape a business.
