Job description

Product is quite literally at the centre of our mission, and as Head of Product at MOJU you’ll be instrumental in bringing this mission to life!

JOB TITLE: HEAD OF PRODUCT

Who we are:

As one of the fastest-growing beverage brands in the UK, MOJU's on a mission to help people live with more mojo, powered by nature's most potent and nutritious ingredients. Just like our nutrition-boosting shots, our company relies on a unique blend of ingredients to really hit the spot.

We are collectively a bunch of people who focus on positive action; we are passionate about our products, people and the planet. We’ve got big plans for the future to become the UK's favourite and freshest way to kickstart the day and our people have big ideas for their futures too.

What we’re looking for

As Head of Product at MOJU, you’ll be instrumental in bringing this mission to life, whether it be developing pioneering product innovations, optimising our current range or being MOJU’s internal and external product evangelist – including becoming a world expert on our famous super roots!

You’ll have a proven track record for building and leading product and innovation teams to deliver commercial success, with a natural curiosity for functional ingredients, and a passion for quality and innovation.

You will be part of the Marketing team but will play a key cross-functional role. You’ll be working closely with our co-founder and Marketing Director to determine our long-term product strategy, whilst working alongside the operations team to ensure we deliver amazing products at pace.

MOJU has been built on doing things a little differently, and your growth mindset, first principles approach will be key in enabling MOJU to continue to shake things up in the chilled drinks aisle (and beyond).

Job requirements

Responsibilities of the role include:

1. Product Pipeline – Development, ownership and delivery of MOJU’s product and innovation roadmap.
2. Concept development – Lead on front end concept development with product concepts that deliver against our MOJU promise.
3. Commercial & Category – Ensure product roadmap is commercially attractive to MOJU, our retail partners and their shoppers.
4. Project Leadership and Reporting – Participate in product development project teams by being the product lead and ensure the product is developed to the brief.
5. Insights & Foresights – Be at the forefront of macro and consumer trends in ‘naturally functional’ to stay ahead of the market.
6. Nutrition & Ingredients – Have a deep understanding of MOJU’s hero ingredients (super roots), processes and sourcing strategy.
7. Category leadership – Be the undisputed expert in functional shots, and the leading voice and source of truth for consumers, customers and CRU members.
8. Product storytelling and comms – Educate existing and future MOJU shotters, and customers on the key benefits and story behind our shots.

Who you are

• Proven track record of delivering commercially successful product and innovation projects.
• Ability to embrace complex challenges with a first principles, growth mindset.
• A knowledge of ingredients and functionality – or passion for upskilling here.
• Presentation and storytelling - confident at bringing our product story to life.
• Ability to work at pace across multiple projects with high levels of complexity.
• Expert at developing strong stakeholder relationships internally and externally.
• A passion and/or interest in sustainability.

Our people

We’re all sorts of people from different backgrounds, with all kinds of interests and passions and approaches to life. It's that diversity that makes us stronger as a business and makes MOJU greater than the sum of its parts.

We’re committed to hiring diversely. We encourage members of underrepresented groups to apply to this role. Once you’ve applied, we’ve developed a hiring process where candidates are judged on their unique talents and aptitude, not their identity. This includes how we rate all candidates against the same criteria.

And remember, just because you don’t tick all the boxes on the requirements for the role, we still want to hear from you if you think you can make a big impact with us.

Our values

we BLAZE TRAILS and PLAY TO WIN by BEING EVERGREEN and KEEPING IT REAL.

The package

A competitive package is on offer, which will include your salary, discretionary bonus, 28 days holiday, flexible working hours, a generous pension contribution and paid time out of the office for getting stuck into passion projects or social impact initiatives. We also offer free therapy support from Spill Therapy, Classpass membership, Simplyhealth healthcare and as much MOJU as you can shake a shot at!
