This is an exciting opportunity to join a scale-up through a significant period of growth. 💪🌍

Joining as our EU Sales Lead you’ll be responsible for our International Retail Growth. Specifically, you’ll be responsible for:

• Account Management responsibility supporting our distribution partners to develop the relationships with some of our key existing retail partners.
• Supporting the Head of Sales with our EU Retail strategy and leading the charge on our European expansion

About you

Great comes in lots of different forms, and we’re really open to seeing candidates from a range of backgrounds. Given the nature of this role and what we’ll ask of you, we do believe that the following skills are needed to be able to deliver to a high standard:

• 5+ Years experience in a sales role within an FMCG company with a proven track record of building winning relationships with retailers and driving growth.
