Chief Commercial Officer
Our client is a scaling, private equity-backed group targeting further significant growth across their multi-site locations which manufactures, assembles and supplies EMS, Electronic and/or PCB products across a range of industries. To support their continued successful growth, they are seeking a new Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) who will be responsible for leading and delivering the Group’s future revenue growth strategy, with a clear objective to grow turnover to £120 million over the next three years through a combination of organic growth and acquisition integration.
The role will carry full accountability for commercial performance across the Group, including sales leadership, pipeline development, forecasting discipline, performance management and execution of the agreed growth plan.
Following an initial period of understanding the business, markets, customers and capabilities, the CCO will be expected to develop and present a clear commercial strategy to the Board. Once agreed, the CCO will take ownership of implementation and delivery of revenue targets.
Specifically:
- All sales teams across the Group will report to the CCO. The role will focus on creating a disciplined and structured sales culture, ensuring consistent activity levels, strong opportunity qualification, effective conversion of pipeline into orders and clear accountability for results.
- Marketing will also report to the CCO. The successful candidate will therefore be responsible for strengthening brand positioning and market visibility, particularly in regulated and high-reliability sectors such as aerospace and defence and medical. This will include defining sector messaging, prioritising trade show participation, shaping digital presence and ensuring alignment between marketing activity and commercial strategy.
While not responsible for originating acquisitions, the CCO will play an important role in commercial due diligence when required and will take ownership of integrating newly acquired businesses from a revenue perspective. This will include understanding existing customer concentration, identifying cross-selling opportunities, strengthening market positioning and accelerating revenue growth post-acquisition.
The CCO will work closely with Operations, Supply Chain and Finance to ensure that growth is profitable, customer commitments are realistic and that new opportunities align with the Group’s strategic focus.
The successful candidate will bring experience of scaling revenue in a multi-site manufacturing or EMS environment, will be highly execution-focused, and capable of operating at both strategic and operational levels.
Hybrid working in the UK and able to support frequent travel and team/organisation/market engagement, suitable candidates should have similar experience in strategic commercial leadership as well as delivering revenue growth within a relating product/technical environment.
