Have you got experience working in the laundry or household cleaning category? And have you worked with UK discounters or European retailers & distributors? If so, then I would love to hear from you!
I’m partnering with a high-growth, UK brand to recruit a Senior Commercial Manager to accelerate their European and UK expansion.
This is a rare opportunity to join a profitable SME on a sustained high YoY growth trajectory, already trading internationally. With strong UK retail partnerships secured and major US listings launching, Europe and the USA represents the next major growth level.
The business operates within the laundry/cleaning category, built around a genuinely unique product with a powerful category story and brand positioning. It’s a brand that blends science-led innovation with a fun, highly engaging consumer presence, and when buyers see it, it sells.
The Opportunity
Europe is the strategic priority: The brand already works with distributors across multiple territories and has secured early-stage conversations with major European retailers including Carrefour, Rossman, Lidl, and Aldi. In the UK, they already have major listings with the Discounters and Grocers, but will need someone to focus on those partnerships too.
