Case study
Global Agri-chemical company
Head of European Marketing
Opportunity
Due to our continued success finding great talent in the Agri-Tech sector, Eden Search & Select were commissioned by one of the largest agrochemical companies and global leader in global food systems. Eden Search worked in partnership with our client to find talent for two leading roles across their UK and European businesses which were a UK Business Manager and Head of European Marketing.
Our approach
For the Head of European Marketing role, the client was looking to upskill their marketing talent, looking for a different type of candidate with both technical and marketing skills, who would ultimately take the lead on developing the links between R&D and the commercial message for the business. Following a detailed global mapping process looking for a specific pool of candidates with both science specific technical knowledge together with marketing expertise, Eden undertook detailed face to face assessments to deliver a strong shortlist of candidates that met the key criteria.
The results
Eden presented a shortlist of candidates and the chosen candidate was appointed after a series of interviews with the European leadership team. The successful candidate’s experience across multiple roles spanning commercial, technical, marketing and market development EMEA proved a perfect fit for our client’s talent search.
