Job Details

About The Business: 

High growth food start-up with a product with a real difference. By helping UK farmers make extra income the founders use surplus fruit and vegetables that would otherwise be wasted due to their non-standard appearance.  

With a massive shift in consumer behaviour when it comes to both plastic and food waste, this business is being well received by retailer and shopper alike. To that effect, the business has seen a massive jump in sales and the turnover has doubled in less than 12 months. 

With an ever-growing product line and a sheer passion for good food, this is a business that you should want to be involved in. With co working start up office space in Vauxhall, this business breathes vibrance and they want you to be part of the journey.

  • You'll be able to influence both internally and externally
  • Internally, you'll be working day by day with the owners of the business and creating brand plans and strategies
  • Externally, you'll be influencing business directors/owners on promoting the brand in store and having real POS and train staff about the benefits of the product.

 

About You: 

For this role you'll have one thing above all else...PASSION.

  • You'll be a real foodie at heart and you'll want to work for a super ambitious brand which will match your own ambitions
