Scaling leadership teams for business growth
Case study
Business situation
Our client, an organic food delivery company, faced challenges due to a sudden period of business growth. To address these challenges and position the business for sustainable future growth, our client created new senior positions across multiple teams. We worked with them to support hiring across finance, technology, operations, and business change.
Background
Over a period of four years, our finance and information technology recruiters supported our client with business-as-usual hiring across permanent and fixed-term contract roles.
This included senior IT roles such as:
Technical Lead
Operational Lead
IT Director
Our finance team filled a 12-month Head of Commercial role, responsible for aspects such as the annual sales forecast, financial budget and pricing strategy.
Our approach drew on our local as well as national professional networks, with strategies including joint-branded vacancy advertising to promote the client’s employer brand to a wide range of applicants.
Hiring project
To address the strain generated by a significant spike in order volumes, our client created multiple new senior roles to position the organisation for ongoing success.
Our Executive Search team provided retained search services to support these requirements. Initially securing a candidate for the new Operations Director role, we then placed an Interim Director of Home Delivery on a temporary basis while we identified appropriate permanent candidates.
Once the permanent Home Delivery Director was identified, we also successfully supported the new Business Change Director role, and Chief Technology Officer position, positioning the organisation for future resilience.
We then successfully supported a Finance Director role and temporary Finance Modeller position as our client’s business continued to grow.
