Sales Manager Export & Private Label

At Findus, we are looking for a commercially driven and entrepreneurial Sales Manager Export & Private Label to take ownership of our Export and Private Label business. This is a unique opportunity to step into a newly established role where you will play a key part in building, shaping and accelerating an important area of our business.

About us

Findus has been part of Nomad Foods since 2015 – Europe’s leading frozen food company and home to iconic brands such as Findus, Birds Eye, Iglo and Green Cuisine. Across 22 countries and with more than 8,000 employees, our mission is clear: to serve the world with better food.

In the Nordics, Findus is the category leader in frozen food. For decades, we’ve combined taste, quality, health and sustainability to make everyday cooking easier, smarter and more enjoyable. That ambition guides everything we do – from innovation to execution on the shelf.

About the job

This is much more than a traditional sales role.

As Sales Manager Export & Private Label, you will take ownership of two strategically important business areas and play a central role in shaping their future development. While both Export and Private Label are already established parts of our business, this role has been created to bring them together under one ownership and accelerate future growth.

Reporting directly to the Country Manager Sweden and serving as a member of the Swedish Leadership Team, you will have a high degree of autonomy and influence in defining priorities, identifying opportunities and driving the commercial agenda forward. Beyond leading your business area, you will contribute to the broader business strategy and play an active role in shaping the continued success of Findus Sweden.

You will lead and further develop our Export business from the Nordic markets to customers, distributors and partners around the world, while also owning the Nordic Private Label business in close collaboration with local commercial teams across Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

With full P&L responsibility, you will be accountable for driving profitable growth, building long-term customer relationships and identifying new opportunities across markets and channels. You will work across the entire value chain and collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, R&D, Supply Chain and Finance to ensure successful execution of growth plans.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys building, shaping and growing a business area while combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

The role is based in Malmö or Copenhagen, with commuting distance to the office a couple of times per month, and includes travel within Europe and other international markets.

Key responsibilities

• Own and develop the Export and Private Label business across the Nordic region

• Drive profitable growth and deliver against revenue, margin and profitability targets

• Develop and execute commercial growth plans and customer strategies

• Identify and pursue new business opportunities, markets and partnerships

• Lead negotiations with customers, distributors and Private Label partners

• Manage the full customer lifecycle, from strategic planning to execution and follow-up

• Own forecasting, budgeting and P&L performance

• Build strong and sustainable relationships with key internal and external stakeholders

• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure excellent customer delivery and execution

• Actively contribute as a member of the Swedish Leadership Team, helping shape business strategy, priorities and organizational success

• Contribute to shaping the future direction of the Export and Private Label business

Who are you?

You are a commercially strong and proactive sales professional who thrives when given ownership, responsibility and the opportunity to make a real impact.

You enjoy working in environments where there is room to influence, improve and build for the future. You are motivated by growth, naturally curious about business opportunities and comfortable navigating both strategic discussions and operational execution.

You bring strong commercial acumen and are skilled at building relationships, influencing stakeholders and identifying opportunities that create sustainable value for both customers and the business.

To succeed in this role, you likely bring:

• Experience working with international customers, distributors or export markets

• Several years of experience from Sales, Commercial or Business Development roles

• Proven experience managing strategic customer relationships

• Experience with P&L responsibility and delivering profitable growth

• Strong negotiation and influencing skills

• Experience from FMCG, food or consumer goods industries

• Experience from Private Label business is considered a strong advantage

• Strong analytical capabilities and a structured way of working

• Excellent collaboration and stakeholder management skills

• Fluency in English and either Swedish or Danish

Experience working with major Nordic retailers, particularly within Sweden, Finland and Denmark, is considered a significant advantage.

Most importantly, you are excited by the opportunity to build, shape and grow a business area with significant potential.
