Our client is a leader in the design and manufacture of specialty consumer and lifestyle product solutions. The company sells its products through specialist retailers, mass merchant outlets, online retailers, farm and home stores and mail order catalogues in North America, Asia/Pacific and Europe. The company is active in Europe and sells across many of its main markets through a mixture of channel, retail sales and web.
Dundalk has been chosen to be the new hub of the European business and the centralisation of sales operations/support, financial and order management activities will help the organisation transition to a more direct sales model. Central to this will be the appointment of an experienced Operations Manager who will build the new operation in Ireland and who will support the commercial strategy in Europe.
Reporting to the Vice President, International, the primary purpose of the position will be to lead the European operation’s strategy and administer daily operations. This will involve overseeing European departments, managing financial budgets, creating, reviewing and implementing business procedures and executing administrative responsibilities.
The appointee will be responsible for providing support services to the sales teams in Europe and will help them to grow sales, and profitability as well as to develop the company’s brands as the most trusted brand for the customers they serve. He/she will create and submit a 24 month rolling European business plan to be reviewed quarterly and will establish and create operational excellence utilising corporate systems and process. The appointee will liaise with corporate office – sharing European-specific information, and general business-related experience and will participate in International Leadership team.
The preferred candidate will be an experienced business executive with strong team building and leadership experience. He/she will understand the process of building relationships with and supporting the retail channel and ideally will have experience across multiple geographies within Europe. Given the requirement to relocate existing activities and functions to Ireland, the appointee should have extensive international project management experience and be capable of fulfilling operational and strategic responsibilities during this transition.
