An experienced Interim Head of Sales is needed to lead the national accounts function for a vibrant, fast-growing premium drinks brand. The priority for this appointment is to ensure commercial momentum is maintained, key relationships are expertly managed, and the business continues to trade with the discipline and pace its growth trajectory demands.
You will take day-to-day ownership of the national account base across both On and Off Trade, ensuring trading terms, joint business plans and promotional programmes are actively managed and commercially optimised. You will work closely with internal stakeholders across Sales, Finance and Marketing to maintain performance visibility, address trading gaps, and keep the commercial engine running at full capacity.
You will be expected to bring a clear commercial point of view — surfacing market dynamics, customer risks and growth opportunities as they arise — and provide visible, confident leadership to the sales team from day one.
You will bring:
- Proven senior commercial experience within branded drinks or FMCG
- Strong hands-on national account management credentials across On and Off Trade
- The ability to land quickly, build trust with customers and internal teams, and deliver immediate impact
- Rigorous commercial and performance management capability across trading terms, JBPs and promotional investment
- A steady, credible leadership presence that inspires confidence in both the team and the customer base
- Previous interim experience is an advantage, though not a prerequisite
