China Business Director (Ingredients, Nutrition & Health)

Description

We are partnering with a global ingredients organisation to appoint a General Manager for China, taking full ownership of one of its most strategically important markets. This is a senior leadership role with end-to-end responsibility for business performance, combining commercial leadership, team development, and long-term strategic direction.

This role goes beyond leading a sales and marketing function. It is a true P&L leadership position, responsible for shaping and executing the China growth strategy across multiple segments within the ingredients, nutrition and health space. The successful candidate will drive market expansion, strengthen customer partnerships, and position the business for sustainable, long-term growth in a highly competitive and evolving market.

பொறுப்புகள்

In this role, you will define and execute the overall China business strategy, aligning with global priorities while tailoring approaches to local market dynamics. You will take full accountability for revenue growth, margin expansion, and overall financial performance, translating strategic priorities into clear commercial actions that deliver measurable outcomes.

You will lead and develop a high-performing commercial organisation, providing direction, coaching, and structure to ensure strong execution across sales and marketing. A key aspect of the role will involve engaging directly with key customers and strategic accounts, while also guiding the team in managing complex sales cycles and unlocking new opportunities.

Working closely with cross-functional stakeholders including R&D, operations, and global leadership, you will ensure that business strategies are integrated and effectively executed in-market. You will also play a central role in strengthening brand positioning, driving marketing initiatives, and representing the organisation externally through industry engagement and customer interactions.

Success in this position will come from the ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, building momentum in the business while ensuring disciplined delivery against targets.

Requirement

The ideal candidate will bring significant leadership experience with full P&L responsibility in China, ideally within the broader ingredients, nutrition, or adjacent B2B sectors. You will have a proven track record of driving business growth, building and leading teams, and executing commercial strategies within a multinational environment.

You are a commercially astute leader who combines strategic vision with a strong execution mindset, and who is comfortable operating across both high-level planning and day-to-day decision-making. Strong stakeholder management skills, the ability to influence across functions, and experience engaging with key customers at a senior level will be essential.
