Fancy being the reason a category-leading drink turns up in every depot, symbol store and forecourt chiller in the country? Here’s your shot.
We’re working with a B Corp-certified drinks brand that created its own category and still leads it, both here and in the US. It’s fun, it’s got a real following in popular culture (think athletes, musicians and celebs), and it’s on a mission to become a properly sustainable, better-for-you drinks business.
Why should you care?
Because you’d get your own patch and real ownership of it. Booker, Co-op Wholesale, Spar, symbols, forecourts and B2B, with the full P&L and the freedom to shape how the brand wins across all of them. This is a channel the business wants to grow, so your ideas get heard and your results get noticed. Add a B Corp culture that actually means something, plus 30 days’ holiday, your birthday off and paid volunteer days, and it’s a pretty good place to do the best work of your career.
What you’ll actually be doing
- Owning the full P&L and commercial strategy across Booker, Co-op Wholesale, Spar, symbols, forecourts and B2B
- Leading JBP negotiations and building proper relationships with your buyers
- Using customer systems and market data to push promotions, distribution and availability
- Teaming up with Marketing to bring the brand to life at depot and in store through activations, POS and experiences
- Finding new business across your patch and keeping an eye on what competitors are up to
- Flying the flag at channel trade shows and events
- Keeping forecasts honest and telling the business clearly what’s working, what isn’t and what to do next
Who you are
You know the wholesale and convenience channel and you know how to win in it. You’re proactive, you back yourself and you’d rather go and find growth than wait for it to arrive. You build relationships quickly, you can stand in front of leadership with an insight and a proposal, and you’re as comfortable in Excel, Power BI and PowerPoint as you are on a depot floor. The must have is at least a year working with Booker. Experience with other customers in the channel is a bonus, not a deal-breaker. A soft spot for coconut water won’t hurt either.
Salary: £50,000 plus discretionary bonus, 30 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, birthday off, 5 volunteer days, Vitality private healthcare, enhanced parental leave and free product
Ways of working: One day a week in the London office. Regular travel to customers, depots and trade shows.
