To assume full responsibility for the sales and marketing teams. To drive growth, through building on the existing client base and increasing penetration across sectors. To work with the senior management team to ensure client contracts are commercially sound and maximise profitability for the business.

This is a full time role. It will involve hybrid working (some time in the office would be expected as part of the process of building a team spirit within the organisation and mentoring staff).

They will have a solid network and a high level of credibility within the sector. Ideally the candidate will have experience of business transformation, as they will be required to drive top and bottom line growth through increasing market share.

Although not essential (as in-house expertise could be drawn on) the candidate would have a good understanding of the workings of the supply chain within the sectors.
