Head of Commercial – High-Growth Nutraceuticals Manufacturer

Devon (Hybrid) | Full-time | Competitive salary + bonus + benefits

Are you ready to lead the commercial engine of a fast-growing manufacturer in the booming health and wellness space?

This is a rare opportunity to join a trusted, BRC-accredited UK business at a pivotal stage of expansion — both in the UK and internationally. As Head of Commercial, you’ll take full ownership of the commercial strategy, lead a focused team of four, and report directly to the Managing Director as part of the senior leadership team.

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop and lead commercial strategy across the UK, Europe, and North America — driving growth and building long-term client partnerships.
• Manage and mentor a team of four across sales, account management, and business development.
• Grow B2B revenue streams across sports nutrition, food & drink, own-label and co-pack customers.
• Lead on strategic partnerships, pricing, contracts, and channel expansion.
• Work cross-functionally with supply chain, NPD, and operations to align commercial goals with delivery capability.
• Report directly into the MD, contributing to broader business strategy and direction.

What you bring:

• Proven experience in B2B sales or commercial leadership, ideally in FMCG, supplements, nutraceuticals, or manufacturing.
• Confident leader of small teams — you’re hands-on, results-focused, and inspire trust.
• Strong commercial acumen: from negotiation and deal-making to pricing and margin optimisation.
• Comfortable managing a commercial P&L and presenting performance at board level.
• Entrepreneurial mindset — you spot opportunities, take initiative, and deliver results.

Why this role?

• Step into a strategic leadership position in a high-growth, values-driven business.
• Have real ownership — your decisions will shape the future of the commercial function.
• Work in a growing sector where health, innovation, and sustainability intersect.
• Be part of a supportive leadership team with a track record of success and ambition to match.
