Director, EU Commercial Operations - £70k

This is a real christmas cracker of an opportunity ~ an ambitious analytical chemistry company is keen to recruit a Director of EU Commercial Operations based from their South East offices. The role will hold full P&L responsibility for sales of in excess of $25M, direct reports of 7 people and indirect reports of a further 19 people. These will be a mix of sales, service and operations people, the UK and German office will report directly to this role and in turn you will liaise with the VP of Sales & Service in the US. The post is predominately sales orientated and a key focus will be driving further sales succes across Europe by the direct sales team and distribution relationships. You will be expected to be both strategic and yet hands on when required. The successful candidate will be a graduate with at least 10 years of senior management experience in the life science market, ideally analytical chemistry based products. Previous sales management and P&L responsibility is necessary, and any experience with distribution channels and service management would be desirable but not essential. This is without question one of the finest roles I have had the pleasure of handling all year. The company are expecting rapid growth over the next two years and need a dynamic leader to manage their development. To discuss this role in the strictest of confidence do contact us ASAP.
