• Drive account growth through promotional planning, range reviews and distribution expansion.
• Build a high-value commercial pipeline and identify new market opportunities.
• Partner closely with the Founder to help shape the next stage of the company's growth.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience securing listings with major UK retailers.

• Outstanding negotiation, presentation and relationship-building skills.
• An entrepreneurial mindset with the energy to thrive in a fast-growing founder-led business.
• A passion for building brands rather than simply managing accounts.

Why This Opportunity?
