Job description
Think is seeking a Regional Director in Milwaukee, WI to lead the growth of an Americas business within a global manufacturing and food-ingredients organization. This role calls for an entrepreneurial, highly autonomous leader who can act as a true regional owner, driving revenue growth, improving margins, and building the organization while partnering with corporate teams on strategy and planned investments. This is a build-and-scale opportunity, not a turnaround.
Key Responsibilities
Own full P&L responsibility for the Americas region, with accountability for revenue growth, margin expansion, and profitability.
Act as a regional entrepreneur, driving commercial acceleration across existing and new markets in North America and Latin America.
Develop and execute a mid- to long-term growth strategy aligned with ambitious EBITDA targets.
Lead pricing strategy, portfolio optimization, and customer mix improvement to address margin and scale challenges.
Build and structure the regional organization, establishing clear ownership, accountability, and productivity across functions.
Partner with corporate teams (strategy, innovation, technical support, and operations) while operating with a high degree of independence.
Support and execute planned industrial and capital investment initiatives, including equipment expansion and footprint development.
Strengthen go-to-market execution through a “hunter” mindset, expanding key customer relationships and identifying new growth opportunities.
Establish disciplined operating rhythms, performance tracking, and decision-making frameworks appropriate for a scaling business.
Serve as the senior regional leader and primary interface between the Americas organization and global leadership.
Experience & Background
Senior leadership experience as a General Manager, Managing Director, or equivalent with full P&L ownership.
Demonstrated success building and scaling businesses rather than turnaround or restructuring-only roles.
Background in food ingredients, food & beverage, manufacturing, or adjacent sectors.
Strong commercial orientation with experience driving growth, pricing strategy, and margin improvement.
Exposure to global or multinational organizations, with the ability to balance autonomy and light governance.
Experience with structured commercial or leadership development environments within large consumer or food organizations is strongly preferred.
Leadership & Capabilities
Highly autonomous and self-directed, comfortable operating with broad ownership and minimal oversight.
Entrepreneurial, growth-minded leader with a strong “hunter” mentality.
Strategic thinker who can translate vision into executable plans.
Decisive, hands‑on operator with a bias toward action and accountability.
Strong communicator and relationship builder across customers, teams, and corporate stakeholders.
Motivated to grow with the organization and take on increasing leadership scope over time.
