Business Development Manager (On-trade) in Borehamwood

Beyond Belief Brewing Co. is leading the way towards a waste free future.

Thinking free of the constraints of the brewing industry, we have developed a range of products made using surplus food as a replacement for up to 50% of the base malt in beer.

Our patented process has led to some truly cosmic products made with all manner of surplus raw materials from Pasta to Brownies and beyond!

We are delighted to be recruiting for a Business Development Manager to join our incredible sales team.

We are a business built on a genuine and proven commitment to sustainable sourcing and production, making use of our revolutionary brewing process.

This is a field-based role, and you'll be out for much of the week, meeting customers, opening new accounts, and championing our brand across many different businesses.

When you’re not in the field you will be collaborating with our wider team at our HQ in Borehamwood and helping us drive the Free Thinking Drinking movement.
