About the role
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and playing a key role within a close-knit executive leadership team, the Chief Commercial Officer will be pivotal in providing customer care, interfacing with product or service offerings, and ensuring all organisational functions align with strategic commercial goals.

You are a highly collaborative, values-driven commercial leader with significant experience in sales and international trade and ideally, though not essential, in the food and beverage sector. You thrive in fast-paced settings and sit comfortably with ambiguity where your adaptability is your advantage. You are equally skilled at strategy and outcomes-focused execution. A true people person with high EQ, you build thriving 'win-win' relationships and high-performing teams that face forward to advance, together. You may have previously held executive-level roles within close-knit, privately owned organisations. You are tertiary qualified, ideally with an MBA or equivalent.
