Working closely with our wider commercial, marketing and operations teams, you'll help ensure our brand continues to grow through high-quality retail partners while delivering an outstanding customer experience.

This is a hands-on role where you'll have real ownership and the opportunity to make a significant impact within a fast-paced, entrepreneurial business.

• Analyse sales performance and identify opportunities for growth.

• Represent the business at customer meetings, trade shows and industry events.

• Ensure our brand is consistently represented to the highest standard across all wholesale partners.
