Job description

• Develop and grow a £12million Scottish business with customers throughout the UK.


• Lead and develop your own team, hands‑on.


• A commercial focus, with the freedom to bring in new product lines and ideas.

THE CLIENT

Roles that hand you complete control of a £12million business are rare. This is one of them.

This Scottish business keeps fast-moving products on the shelves of retailers and trade customers every single day, so they never miss a sale. It runs in its own right, with its own customers, its own team and its own results, and the backing of a long-established parent behind it.

Now it needs someone to lead it as if it were their own.

THE ROLE

Picture a business where every line of the P&L moves because of a decision you made: the products you chose, the customers you won and the team you built.

How much of your week goes on firefighting the day-to-day operation, when you know the real growth is in the commercial calls? How many good ideas have gone nowhere because the plan was set somewhere above you? Here, you run the business end to end, with your focus on customers and growth.

Spot a product line your customers would snap up? Bring it in. Have an idea that could win new business? Put it to work. You'll lead your own team from the front, and every success will carry your name, with earnings to match.

ABOUT YOU

You're an established hands‑on leader who thinks like an owner. You've run businesses units now or in the past can demonstrate a track record of growth from a commercial perspective. If your forte is operations, this role isn't for you. If you're a commercial leader who understands sales, is creative and inspirational and can carry the flag at the front of the line, you're the person we want to speak to.

THE REWARDS

• £50,000 OTE on top of your basic.


• Plus company car.


• Based in Scotland.
