Living Things is one of the fastest-growing drinks brands in the UK, with listings in every major grocer, the best independents, and 20+ international markets. We're less than three years into our mission to make soft drinks that are delicious and guilt-free and we're growing our team.
We're looking for people who want real ownership and the chance to build one of the UK's defining consumer brands.
The Role
As Head of Special Projects, you'll be the right hand to the founding team – a generalist who can pick up almost anything and run with it. One week you might be helping launch the brand in a new international market; the next, standing up a new internal process, pulling together a board pack, and putting out supply chain fires. You'll work across all teams and functions filling gaps and building the things the business doesn't yet have.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
