This is a rare opportunity to own and shape the retail journey at inception. You’ll develop and deliver the commercial strategy, pitch to UK retail giants, and unlock new channels, from supermarkets to foodservice, travel, and convenience.

This is a genuine blank-slate opportunity to build something lasting, working in a well-resourced international food business with multiple global manufacturing facilities, a strong supply chain and innovation capabilities

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.
