FMCG Specialist Recruitment Consultant | Seven Search & Selection | GroceryAid Ambassador

Head of Grocery + Retail

Personal Care - FMCG

4-Day Working Week

Greater Manchester (Hybrid)

Up to £90k + EBITDA Bonus

We’re partnering with a mission-led FMCG disruptor that’s growing fast, scaling smart, and making serious waves in the natural personal care space. With innovation at its core and sustainability in its DNA, this brand has doubled in size in just a few years and they’re just getting started.

They’re now looking for a commercial game-changer to take full ownership of the Grocery & Retail channel – leading strategy, execution, and growth across some of the UK’s biggest retailers.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Shape the Future: Take the reins of a £multi-million retail channel and drive its next phase of growth
• Build Something Special: Lead a talented team (currently 2 Direct Reports) and scale a category-defining brand in the UK grocery and retail space
• Move Fast, Stay Agile: Work in a business that backs bold thinking, quick decisions, and creative problem-solving
• Purpose-Led + Profitable: Join a brand where ethics and commercial success go hand-in-hand

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own and lead the grocery retail strategy – from big four to high-street health & beauty retailers
• Drive listings, trade terms, promotions, and JBPs that deliver real value
• Coach and grow a high-performing account team
• Collaborate across supply chain, marketing, ops, and NPD to ensure retail excellence
• Create and execute seasonal campaigns, activations, and stand-out in-store visibility
• Use category data and insight to shape smarter decisions and retailer partnerships
• Roll your sleeves up and help solve the day-to-day challenges of a fast-scaling brand

Who You’ll Be Joining

• Purpose-led FMCG brand with deep sustainability values and ethical practices
• Dual-channel revenue model across eCommerce and grocery retail
• Agile, innovation-led culture with full control over manufacturing and supply
• Rapid growth from SME to a high-performing mid-sized business
• Culture of autonomy, creativity, and commercial excellence

What You’ll Bring

• Grocery channel experience in FMCG (Controller/Head of level or ready for the step up)
• A sharp commercial mind with entrepreneurial energy
• Experience working within the beauty and personal care scene.
• Ideal experience working in an SME, scale-up, or challenger brand environment
• Strategic thinking meets hands-on hustle – you can do both
• Strong team leadership and a natural collaborator

Set-Up & Flexibility

• 4-day working week
• Hybrid: 2 days in HQ (Greater Manchester), 1 day at manufacturing site, 1 remote
