FMCG Recruitment

Executive Search and Headhunting in FMCG

Recruit Mogul provides executive search, headhunting and talent acquisition services tailored to the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry. We partner with global brands, manufacturers, and retailers to identify and place high-impact leaders who drive innovation, operational efficiency and commercial success in highly competitive markets.

FMCG is a high-pressure industry where speed, supply chain resilience, brand performance and customer insight all intersect. To thrive, organisations need leaders with a blend of agility, strategic thinking and commercial depth. Recruit Mogul specialises in finding and attracting the senior talent that delivers in this dynamic environment.

Talent acquisition for FMCG leadership

We support clients across food and beverage, personal care, household products, cosmetics, packaging and retail distribution. Our talent acquisition model is targeted and strategic, ensuring a strong match between your company’s objectives and the skillset, leadership style and values of every candidate.

We recruit across key functional and strategic roles, including:

C-suite and board-level FMCG positions:

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Chief Operating Officer (COO)
Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
Chief Commercial Officer (CCO)
Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO)
Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Managing Director
Non-Executive Director

Senior leadership roles across departments:

Sales Director
Marketing Director
Head of Category Management
Director of Brand Strategy
Director of Procurement
Head of Logistics and Fulfilment

Quality Assurance Director
Head of Customer Experience

We focus on leadership that understands consumer trends, digital acceleration, operational scalability and brand equity in both mature and emerging product categories.

Clear and competitive fee structure

At Recruit Mogul, our pricing model is transparent and built around simplicity. We charge a flat fee of 20 percent of the successful candidate’s starting annual salary. This includes the complete recruitment process—from briefing and market research to targeted headhunting, candidate vetting, interviews and negotiation support.

We do not apply layered fees or additional charges. Our clients value the clarity and consistency this approach offers, along with the high quality of candidates we deliver.

Executive search for high-growth FMCG businesses

The FMCG sector is constantly evolving, with innovation cycles shortening and consumer expectations rising. Our executive search services are designed to help companies attract leaders who can manage rapid change, lead cross-functional teams and align their function with commercial objectives.

We begin each search with a thorough consultation to understand your strategy, growth plans and culture. From there, we conduct:

Talent mapping across competitor and adjacent sectors
Confidential outreach to passive candidates
Assessment of leadership style, strategic capabilities and industry relevance
Shortlist presentations supported by in-depth candidate insights

Whether you’re hiring a COO to scale production, a CMO to revitalise your brand portfolio, or a Director of Supply Chain to manage complexity across multiple channels, we bring a focused and intelligent approach to your search.

Headhunting for critical FMCG leadership roles

The most effective leaders in FMCG are often not active job seekers. Our headhunting services focus on reaching the industry’s top performers who are already delivering measurable results in similar roles.

We headhunt for roles including:

Global Brand Manager
Senior Category Leader
Director of R&D and Innovation
National Sales Manager
Head of Trade Marketing
Regional Operations Manager
Director of Channel Strategy

Our team has direct access to senior FMCG professionals and knows how to present your opportunity with the right balance of discretion, detail and commercial appeal.

Building talent pipelines for long-term FMCG growth

Recruit Mogul offers more than executive recruitment. We work with clients to build long-term talent acquisition strategies that support future growth, succession planning, and organisational agility.

We provide:

Strategic hiring plans for business transformation
Leadership succession mapping
Market benchmarking for FMCG salaries and incentives

Diversity and inclusion strategies in executive recruitment

We help FMCG companies prepare for leadership transitions, launch into new markets, and embed the kind of talent that sustains innovation and growth.
