Commercial Director

Manchester, United Kingdom Signature Career Management Full time

Looking to embark on a new, exciting opportunity in the new year? Are you a Sales or Commercial Director who is craving something a bit different? Whether that be high growth, scale up, strong category performance or perhaps it’s the bigger picture you’re after?


This is a unique Commercial Director appointment and the first in this business in fact. This appointment provides the opportunity to work closely with the Founder to grow something big, and I mean BIG. They’re already well established, seen significant YOY growth and are well ahead of the curve. They’re an SME which has got to the size and scale they are through the hard work of a visionary Founder, the team he’s built, and sheer grit and determination. Over the last 10 years this inspirational Founder has created a force, brand, and team to be reckoned with


Manchester based and with their own manufacturing capability, the platform for growth is huge and their aspirations match. The business operate across D2C, Amazon, Wholesale and Retail, and looking for a Commercial Director who has operated across both Retail and eCommerce to work with the Founder to take them onto their next phase of growth.


This role encompasses everything you’d expect in a Commercial Director appointment for a mid sized SME including:

  • Set the sales strategy across the UK over the next 3-5 years
  • Develop and grow the existing team to ensure budget delivery across Retail and eCommerce
  • Work closely with the supply chain and factory to understand commercial capability and risk
  • Own the sales number and ensure delivery as the business expands.


We’re not just looking for skill set but also character as this won’t be for everyone. You need to be an entrepreneur at heart and willing to go the extra mile. There will be equity/ LTIP involved so long term, there is more in this than the day job


Outside of being entrepreneurial, the type of character we’re looking for and who will get along well with the Founder look something like this:

  • ‘JFDI’ attitude with grit, determination and energy
  • Aspirational, unafraid of hard work who goes the extra mile
  • Straight talking with no BS
  • Acceptance of things you can’t change, courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference


Skill wise, you’ll need:

  • Experience of operating already in a Sales or Commercial Director capacity
  • Experience of operating in a FMCG and manufacturing environment, understanding the wider supply chain
  • A head for numbers, you’re commercially astute and know your way around an excel spreadsheet
  • Strength in both Retail and Amazon, you know your way around both Grocery and eCommerce and able to support and coach your team where needs be
  • Experience of leading a team through change, growth and in navigating a fast paced operated.


This is a genuinely superb opportunity for someone who wants to make real impact in business and go on a fabulous ride of growth, pace and change. It won’t be for everyone but for those change makers out there who want to make a real difference in business and to their own lives, this should grab your attention. If this sounds like you and you have a commercial background in FMCG, we’d love to hear from you
