What an opportunity this is Senior Brand Manager, Northern FMCG scaling brand, that is set to take centre stage in the category they operate.
This is not a small, fluffy, challenger brand but a scale up medium sized business who mean business and have grit, determination and embarking on their next phase of growth which means we're looking to appoint an SBM to help double the business in the next couple of years.
Now then, yes, this is exciting, but no, this won't be for everyone.
You need to have entrepreneurial flair and a 'JFDI' attitude.
This is a business which is still founder run and doubled in size every year over the last 4 years and now have a significant turnover, manufacturing capability and large team having recently brought in a very interesting board member who is working very closely with the team on the next phase of growth.
(I'll tell you more when we speak) You need to have a certain mindset and approach here and bring process and strategy to the table along with action and delivery.
You'll resonate with the mindset of entrepreneurs; you're action orientated, directive, have ideas and probably want to run before you can walk sometimes.
Founders can be impatient and want to see results fast.
Now this business has all the tools and capability for someone to deliver, they just need to appoint someone with the right attitude.
