We're looking for someone to discover what we build next.
This is a hybrid strategy and innovation role: you'll identify new product categories and business opportunities outside our existing lines, validate them commercially, and build the playbooks to scale what works. You'll also support the exec team on strategic planning, board materials, investor decks, and commercial sales collateral.
It's a highly entrepreneurial role for someone who wants to turn ideas into real businesses.
The company is a fast-growing (record revenues for 6 months) start-up who have scaled to contracts with high street chains such as Blank Street Coffee. Now on a mission to expand into the US with a lab already operating there.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
