Consider the remit: enormous growth opportunities for iconic innovation in a fast and furious growth category, where global expansion is the uncompromising priority. Throw in rationalisation of current portfolio, simplification of commercial processes, the impact on global supply chain, a multitude of transformation projects, and a significant sized team…. and the role is starting to come to life! The focus of this role is leading the priorities in product change in multi markets – innovation and existing product improvement.

Our client is a privately owned global personal wellness business. Growing and profitable, turnover today is around £75m with a bold intention to double revenues in the next five years by fully exploiting the world of possibilities for a collection of well-known household name ‘good for me’ brands, manufactured here and abroad.

The role demands real conviction and energy - someone with obvious self-confidence who knows how to make a real difference. You will need strong commercial skills, bags of IQ and EQ, coupled with a constantly enquiring mind and a natural ability to lead and influence others with a strong voice. Our client is looking for the right person with positive attitude, adaptability, and resilience, someone who can demonstrate genuine depth of character to the core.

Whether you’re a Director or Head-of today, stifled by the shackles of your current role in big or small Co, looking to step change your accountability, this role is PACKED with a sense of adventure and variety across multiple brands and international territories. Here you will have genuine autonomy, and an influential seat at the top table.

This is the role you’ve been waiting for as your next step to building a legacy for truly great, creative marketing innovation.
