This is a rare opportunity to step into a high profile, Board-level role with a globally-recognised brand.

If you have the high-calibre expertise to influence and drive developments at the most senior level, this is your chance to shine with a business that has incredible plans for its own future. And yours.

Over 50 years ago, McCain took the humble potato and turned it into a global brand, with sales across 110 countries and a market-leading range of products. Today we’re involved at every stage of bringing our products from field to fork, from sourcing high-quality seeds through to harvesting the crops and creating our mouth-watering McCain range.

In this pivotal Board-level role you’ll take overall responsibility for our key raw material – potatoes. Nothing is more vital to our on-going success, so your commercial acumen, strategic prowess and operational input will all be essential as you play your part in driving our brand even further forward. With a robust understanding of the grower community, exceptional negotiation skills and substantial FMCG management and sourcing experience – ideally gained in a fresh produce environment – you’ll relish meeting the challenges and demands of this high-profile role. And you’ll reap the rewards.

You’ll take charge of:

· Seeds- ensuring the reliable supply of high quality seed

· Commercial – managing the entire potato purchasing process

· Agronomy – ensuring best practice in crop husbandry and new variety development

We’re looking for a visionary leader, a high-calibre professional who can inspire at every level, develop solid working relationships, successfully lead a team to exceed expectations and yet take a hands-on approach to this business-critical role. That you have an excellent knowledge of the UK agriculture sector goes without saying. But it will be your natural enthusiasm, innovative thinking and impressive track record that will ensure your immediate success with us.

If you have the expertise to make an impact at Board level, to further develop an incredibly successful brand and to bring a long-term strategic outlook please find out more and apply by contacting our retained consultants, Snowdon Tate Executive Search by email at BCCV@snowdontate.com.
