Location: National – with monthly visits to our HQ in Corby, Northants
Role Type: Permanent, full time
You’re driven by commercial success, true strategic business development, you know your market and how to identify the right opportunities and you can align concepts to commercial viability and strategic direction.
Now is your time to embrace your entrepreneurial spirit and take on the lead role in developing and delivering the Food Nutrition Partners proposition across the co-manufacturing and co-packing space.
Food Nutrition Partners (FNP) has been an industry leader within food product development, nutritional product manufacturing and food safety compliance for over 40 years, through our own brands such as The 1:1 Diet (formerly the Cambridge Diet). We believe that this manufacturing excellence will also support the success of other food/FMCG businesses, and so, in a first of its kind role, you’ll be empowered to take the FNP proposition to market to identify and acquire new business wins and develop further commercial opportunities.
Not to be confused, you won’t be selling a product, this is all about understanding the concept we have to offer and being able to identify opportunity that, in essence, fills capacity within our factory.
Reporting into our Chief Commercial Officer, you’ll be the commercial lead for FNP in understanding our capabilities, supported by our highly experienced and talented Operations teams, and build out annual business plans that identifies opportunities and highlights where they are across the different stages of the funnel.
You’ll be responsible for the end-to-end sales process from prospect identification through to account management, giving you the opportunity to shape the success of FNP and build from the ground up, what is effectively a start-up operation.
Is this you?
You’ll bring an entrepreneurial and self-motivated nature that relishes the challenge of building something from the ground-up and making things happen.
This would’ve have been developed through a proven track record of delivering effective sales strategies in the contract manufacturing / FMCG space
You’ll also bring;
* Exceptional negotiation, communication, and presentation abilities with strong influencing skills
* Creativity and adaptability in your approach to customers and opportunities
