Lime Talent is working with a high-quality branded FMCG business that has built a strong international presence and is now doubling down on European grocery growth.

They’re hiring an International Sales Manager – Europe to lead new customer acquisition while developing a focused portfolio of existing distributor and retail relationships.

• Manage and develop distributor and retail relationships
• Lead commercial negotiations across pricing, terms, promotions and listings
• Drive NPD launches and range optimisation

• Has worked across multiple European markets
• Is comfortable owning distributor and retail relationships end-to-end
