International Market Development Manager (F&B)

We are supporting a global consumer brand as it accelerates expansion across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa (APMEA). This role sits at the centre of international growth, partnering closely with a senior global leader responsible for market entry and expansion strategy.

This is not a sales role and not a traditional franchising role. It is a commercial strategy and execution role for someone who enjoys analysing markets, evaluating partners, and turning data into clear decisions.

What You'll Do

• Assess new market and expansion opportunities across APMEA
• Review and evaluate franchise / partner proposals and RFPs
• Analyse commercial viability, strategic fit, and execution readiness
• Support business case development and senior decision-making
• Act as a project lead, coordinating across strategy, finance, legal, and operations
• Help prioritise where to grow, with whom, and why

Who This Is For

• 812+ years of experience in business development, strategy, corporate development, franchising, or international expansion
• Commercially minded professionals with experience in market entry, expansion, strategy, or business development
• Strong analytical thinkers who are comfortable working with large volumes of information
• Candidates who enjoy structure, decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration

If you're interested in shaping international growth rather than selling into it, this is a strong opportunity to explore.
