Commercial Director

The organisation

Our client is active in the chemical industry.

The position

The main goal for the Commercial Director will be to boost revenue growth and set and achieve sales targets. You will also be required to lead and grow the company's partner and distributor sales business. Furthermore, you will be expected to look to the future of the business, promote potential key investments and make investment recommendations. You will participate in industry conferences and events to engage new contacts and accounts. This standalone role will involve travelling nationally and internationally for up to 50% of the time.

A secondary goal for the Commercial Director will be to reshape the company's European HQ to create a 2.0 organisation. This will mean reviewing and, where necessary, updating existing systems, procedures and processes. A more formal, business-like approach needs to be implemented and contract management needs to be organised and fleshed out.
You will not have responsibility for P&L and will report directly to the CEO/owner.
