The Role: Future Head of Sales (The "Value Architect") Location: Dunstable (with a 3-day office split to start) Package: £50k - £65k Base + Commission + Benefits The Mission: Turn 50 active products into 600, and a £12M vision into a reality. The Context (The Honest Truth) We are a thriving, family-owned FMCG reseller on the verge of a massive transformation. We’ve got the investment, we’ve got the products in Boots and Superdrug, and we’ve got the Amazon engines humming. But, they’ve been a little quieter since the world turned upside down in 2020. They want to get back to that £12M turnover mark within 3 years, and they need a commercially minded powerhouse to lead the charge. The Challenge: This Isn't Just "Account Management" You’ll start as an Individual Contributor, but they aren't hiring a rep; they’re hiring a future leader. You’ll be inheriting a team of two. Your desk will look like this: • The "600" Club: They have 600 incredible products (from white label to premium brands), but we’re only really moving 50. You’ll find the "why" and the "how" to upsell the other 550., • The Client Spectrum: One day you’re talking to a Tier 1 Retailer; the next, you’re figuring out a supply chain for festival catering vans., • Your Leadership: You’ll report to the owner. He’s visionary, but he’s busy and he needs someone who can hold their own, challenge ideas, and bring structure to the sales chaos. Who You Are • A Value Seller: The products aren’t the cheapest, and they’re proud of it. You don’t fold when a client mentions price; you show them how the products make them money., • A Relationship Architect: You don't just maintain accounts; you grow them until they’re double the size., • The Diplomat: You can navigate the delicate balance between the vision and the GM’s operational focus., • The Strategist: You’re ready to help create strategy and set the SMART goals they currently don't have. What’s In It For You? • Leadership Training: You don’t need to be a manager yet. They will train you to become the Head of Sales/Sales Manager as the department grows., • Influence: You aren't just a cog; you’re the person telling them what they’re doing wrong and how to fix it., • Tech-Forward: They use apps for instant ordering - no more 1990s paperwork., • The "Peer" Path: You’ll eventually sit alongside the GM as a peer, shaping the entire commercial future of the business. The Interview Process • The Coffee & Chemistry: A chat with the heart of the family., • The Commercial Deep-Dive: A session with the our GM., • The Final Vision: A F2F presentation to the board. Ready to turn a family business into a £12M empire? Apply with your CV.
