The role

Job description

At CE Consulting, we are selecting a Commercial Director for a consolidated family SME with over 20 years of experience, specializing in the supply and distribution of products, ingredients, solutions, and equipment for the artisanal ice cream sector.

The company works with ice cream parlors, workshops, and other businesses linked to the sector, offering everything from semi-finished products, cones, and cookies, packaging, and frozen goods to special milk, machinery, and other solutions.

It is currently in a stage of commercial growth and transformation, with a consolidated business base and significant development potential.

Job Mission

Assume the Commercial Directorship and lead, together with General Management, the strategy necessary to drive profitable growth and progressively professionalize the commercial function.

This is an especially hands-on project. Currently, there is no structured commercial department as such: activity relies on a reduced structure where delivery, order management, and commercial activities coexist.

The person who joins must initially work with existing resources, get to know and diagnose the organization, generate business and, based on the results, progressively define the structure necessary to accompany the growth.

Functions:

●Design and execute the commercial and growth plan together with General Management.

●Acquire new customers and develop the current portfolio.

●Conduct commercial visits, market opening, and negotiation.

●Develop business in Comunidad Valenciana, Murcia, Albacete, and Ciudad Real.

●Analyze customers, products, and growth opportunities.

●Work on margins, pricing, discounts, and profitability.

●Evaluate the current commercial structure and the potential of the people within it.

●Progressively define the organization and the profiles necessary to accompany the growth.

●Professionalize processes, commercial methodology, KPIs, and reporting.

●Participate in the expansion of the portfolio, identifying new products, categories, brands, and suppliers.

●Explore new opportunities in related sectors such as coffee shops, pastry, bakery, or catering.

●Analyze new areas, alliances, and possible inorganic growth opportunities.

●Work directly with General Management and coordinate with Purchasing and Operations.

Benefits

The initial contract will run until March 7, 2027, with the possibility of joining the permanent staff. In addition, at Adecco

●€45,000-55,000 gross/year + variable linked to growth, margin, and objectives.

●Company car and professional expenses.

●High autonomy and direct contact with General Management.

●Direct participation in the transformation and growth of a consolidated family SME.

●Real capacity to influence customers, markets, portfolio, prices, and commercial strategy.

●Specialized technical training with leading suppliers.

●A long-term project with high impact on the business.

If you are a commercial professional who enjoys both the market and the numbers, and you are motivated to join a family SME where there is still much to build, we want to meet you.
