Job Description:

Are you driven by the thrill of launching brands and making a real impact in the UK retail space? Do you thrive on shaping strategy, leading execution, and delivering growth where others see challenges? This is a Grocery leadership opportunity like no other. This FMCG business is preparing to bring a functional drinks range to market alongside their established VMS portfolio, and they need someone who can own the launch from day one. There are no rigid hierarchies here. You’ll find a fast-moving, ambitious team that values collaboration, bold thinking, and results over process. This is a place for individuals who want more than a typical role, for those who want to step away from the ordinary and make a tangible impact in a high-performing, entrepreneurial environment. This role is for someone who can think strategically but isn’t afraid to get stuck into the details. They need a leader who can balance long-term retail planning with hands-on execution, driving growth across multiple channels and delivering results in a dynamic, challenger brand environment. As Head of Grocery, you’ll take ownership of the UK retail business and play a central role in launching a new drinks brand. Your experience in Top 4 Grocery will allow you to navigate buyer relationships confidently, set strategy, and deliver measurable growth across the portfolio.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead and grow existing UK Grocery retail accounts
  • Plan and execute the launch of a new functional drinks brand into the Top 4 retailers
  • Expand distribution through wholesale, independents, and online channels, including Amazon
  • Build strong, lasting relationships with buyers and partners to support long-term growth
  • Develop and implement retail strategies that deliver measurable, profitable results

Requirements:

  • Experienced in Top 4 Grocery with a proven record of launching challenger brands
  • Strategic thinker with an ability to translate insight into action
  • Entrepreneurial, commercially aware, and results-driven
  • Confident negotiator with excellent stakeholder management skills
