- Full P&L accountability and a proven record of delivering profitable commercial growth.
- Demonstrated experience supplying physical consumer products into major retail environments.
- Extensive experience negotiating with international suppliers and managing landed costs.
- Strong commercial capability across pricing, forecasting, inventory, margin and profitability.
- The ability to influence at Board and Executive level while remaining operationally engaged.
The ideal leader

Why consider this opportunity?
- Significant strategic and commercial influence.
- Direct partnership with an entrepreneurial CEO.
