Commercial Executive - Grocery APPLY NOW

Role title: Commercial Executive

Reporting to: COO

Location: London / with access to London 

Who are we:

We believe that beans are, by every metric, the world's best food. Bold Bean Co began in 2020 with the aim to create a culture of bean obsessives. We have grown from supplying our loyal followers through direct orders to over 600 stockists including Waitrose, Booths and Wholefoods in just 2 years. We are a certified B-corp and winner of The Grocer Gold’s “Start Up of The Year” 2023. We are a purpose-driven brand, but a seriously ambitious one too, and you’d be joining us at an extremely exciting stage of growth.

Our values are:

- Trust the Taste: Believe in your ideas, your time and your talent, because we do. We don’t follow a recipe and don’t want you to either. We trust you to make the decisions, even if they turn out to be the wrong ones

- Be Full of Beans: Laugh, be positive and be passionate. Give this energy to everyone you interact with

- Be Hungry: Have an appetite to learn more, do more and be challenged. Hunt down your next opportunity

- One Pulse: There are no egos, everyone is aligned on the same mission with one heartbeat. Look after your body and mind to ensure you feel good, and look out for each other too

The role:

This is a great opportunity for someone who ideally has some experience under their belt, but wants to take on more responsibility and ownership within an ambitious start-up. We are looking for someone with initiative who is ambitious and intelligent to help us manage and grow our grocery accounts. They must be personable, interesting and engaging with a desire to grow with the business to take up a senior position. We’re looking for someone self-motivated who is an independent thinker. We want a hustler who is charming, thinks strategically and clearly about how to best achieve goals within the business.

Core responsibilities:

Ensuring we have good availability, rate of sale and brand presence in our grocery stockists in the UK. Growing availability and rate of sale by problem-solving and building relationships, whilst retaining brand fluency. Managing the numbers in your channel, including forecasting, budgeting and promotions. An analytical, data-driven person who wants to learn.

What skills will you bring?

• Numerically Minded: This person gets a kick out of spreadsheets and improving processes and efficiency. They should want to learn how to run a P&L.
