My client is seeking an energetic and commercially focused Head of Sales – NSW/ACT to lead and execute the sales strategy across these key states. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this is a critical senior leadership role within the business, responsible for performance across the foodservice and hospitality channel — including aged care, healthcare, HORECA, and other sub-channels.
This is a unique opportunity for a strategic thinker who can also lead from the front — driving new business, strengthening major customer partnerships, and coaching a high-performing team.

With strong local capability and international backing, the business is well-positioned for sustained growth and continued category leadership.

* Report directly to the Managing Director and contribute to the broader leadership agenda.
About You

* Deep understanding of the NSW and ACT foodservice landscape and major accounts.
* Confident in driving growth through strategic account management, tenders, and new business development.

What’s On Offer
* A critical leadership role with autonomy, influence, and direct impact.
* Join a market-leading business with the backing of a global group leading the industry across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
* Work with a respected brand in the foodservice space, with strong momentum and ambitious growth plans.
* A supportive leadership team and a business that values initiative, accountability, and commercial excellence.
