My client is a long‑established, high‑performing food manufacturing and retail organisation with a 72‑store estate across the Central Belt of Scotland and a thriving team of more than 900 colleagues. With annual revenues exceeding £50m, continued investment, and an ambitious growth strategy, the business is poised for its next chapter — and you will be at the heart of it.
As Head of Sales & Retail Operations, you will shape the future of a beloved Scottish retail brand. Reporting directly to the Managing Director/Owner, you will lead 500+ colleagues through six Area Managers and specialist teams, driving performance, elevating customer experience, and championing operational excellence. You will also be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team.
You will be a seasoned multi‑site retail leader with experience across food, bakery, food‑to‑go or high street retailing. You bring strong commercial, analytical and operational acumen, exceptional communication skills, strategic clarity, and a continuous improvement mindset.
This is a genuine opportunity to leave a legacy. You’ll join a respected, well‑invested business with scale, resources and brand loyalty — but still nimble enough for you to make a visible, organisation‑wide impact.
The head office is based in Fife, one of Scotland's most scenic areas, with unrivalled access to good schools, beautiful beaches and countryside and access to Scotland's free higher education. This is a great area of families and is only 30 minutes from Scotland's capital Edinburgh.
