Our client, a global leader in FMCG solutions, is entering the ANZ region and is looking for a dynamic Country Manager to take the reins. This is more than just a management role. You'll be the architect of growth, responsible for setting up import, logistics, legal compliance, and building a robust sales and distribution network across Australia and New Zealand.

Responsibilities

• Close B2B sales with hospitality, catering and wholesale partners
• Develop a strong local brand and digital presence
• Hire and manage a small, high-performing local team

This is a rare greenfield leadership & commercial role, ideal for someone looking to make their mark in a high-growth, high-autonomy environment. There is a competitive commission scheme and a bonus, combined with the opportunity to become the leader of the ANZ region in the FMCG industry. The right candidate will receive support from an overseas Marketing and Finance and Executive  team in order to be set up for success. However, the succesfull Country Manager will be the key driver for commercial success in the region for a global, proven leader in the industry.
