HEAD OF SALES/ SALES DIRECTOR – BRANDED FMCG
Yorkshire | Six figure Salary + bonus, car allowance, healthcare and pension
I’m leading a confidential search for a Sales Director to join an outstanding international FMCG brand at an important and genuinely exciting point in its UK journey.
With strong foundations, established grocery distribution and an ambitious growth agenda, the business is looking for an exceptional commercial leader to take ownership of its UK sales function, major customer relationships and next phase of sustainable growth.
This is a high-profile leadership role but it isn’t one for someone who wants to lead from a distance. The successful candidate will be a visible, hands-on and customer-facing Sales Director who can:
- Set a clear and compelling UK commercial strategy
- Lead, coach and inspire a talented sales team
- Strengthen senior relationships across the major grocery retailers
- Translate strategy into focused customer plans and measurable results
- Drive distribution, profitability and sustainable brand growth
- Bring clarity and discipline to category, pricing and revenue growth management
- Act as a trusted commercial partner to the UK Managing Director
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The business combines the backing and heritage of a successful international group with the energy, accessibility and autonomy of a focused UK operation. It offers the opportunity to make a real and highly visible impact across customers, people and performance.
I’m particularly interested in speaking with Sales Directors, Heads of Sales and Senior Commercial leaders from branded FMCG businesses. Experience across impulse-led categories would be especially relevant. Just as importantly, the cultural fit needs to be right.
You’ll be commercially ambitious but grounded. Strategic but highly practical. Confident without ego. You’ll enjoy working as part of a close-knit leadership team, take genuine end-to-end ownership and be equally comfortable writing the plan, presenting it and getting alongside customers and colleagues to deliver it.

The package includes:
- Six figure base salary
- Car allowance
- Individual and group bonus schemes
- Private healthcare and contributory pension
- 25 days’ holiday, increasing with service
- Additional wellbeing and lifestyle benefits
If you are an experienced FMCG sales leader looking for a role with an exceptional brand, genuine autonomy and the opportunity to shape its next chapter, I would be very interested to hear from you. All initial conversations will be handled in complete confidence.
