What we’re looking for:

• A strong track record selling ambient/snacking products into UK retail (Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, etc.)
• Own brand and private label experience.
• A hunter mindset, you love building from zero and thrive in a fast-moving, lean environment

If you’re hungry for a challenge, ready to take full ownership, and excited by the chance to lead the UK’s next great snack success story, and can demonstrate you have the relevant experience, apply now with your CV, or reach out confidentially for more information.
