Job description

Are you a commercially driven food professional looking for the opportunity to build something new within a high-growth, ambitious business?

Signature Career Management are partnered with a high-growth, B-Corp, ambitious and genuinely innovative business that is changing the way workplaces think about food, breaks and employee experience.

Already a significant player in its market, the business has ambitious plans for continued growth and is investing in new propositions that will challenge how a traditionally conservative channel operates.

They are now looking for a Commercial Lead – Fresh & Frozen to take ownership of one of these key growth areas.

This is a build, shape and scale opportunity. The proposition is already gaining traction, but the successful person will be responsible for taking it to the next level – identifying new opportunities, developing the proposition and working across the business to turn it into a significant growth engine.

You'll work across sales, food, operations, supply chain and strategy, partnering with both existing and new customers to develop solutions that deliver commercially and genuinely change the customer experience.

Key responsibilities:

  • Take ownership of the commercial development and growth of the Fresh & Frozen proposition

  • Work with sales teams to identify opportunities across new and existing customers

  • Build strong customer relationships and develop commercially relevant solutions

  • Work cross-functionally across Sales, Food, Operations and Supply Chain

  • Use customer insight and data to continually improve the proposition

  • Help shape the long-term strategy and growth of the category

The ideal candidate:

  • Strong food & drink background – essential

  • Currently operating at senior commercial level with strategic commercial ownership

  • Comfortable working across different channels and customer types

  • Commercially minded with strong relationship-building skills

  • Able to combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution

  • Collaborative, curious and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment

  • Someone who enjoys building something and shaping how it develops

You don't need to come from vending – in fact, an external food and drink perspective could be a real advantage.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business with significant growth ambitions and genuine influence over a new proposition that could become a major growth engine.
