First-hand knowledge of pelagic fish types and experience in a quality-focused role within the seafood industry.

A strategic mindset with the ability to influence and improve existing systems.

Strong communication skills and a diplomatic approach when working with global stakeholders. You'll be working very closely with a small team, directly with MD and clients on a global-scale.

The flexibility to travel internationally and work outside of regular hours when business-critical situations arise. (Valid passport required)

25 days annual leave + bank holidays

Company incentive scheme- based on business performance and reviewed annually.
