Type: Full‑time About MOMO Kombucha We are on a mission to produce the UK's best‑tasting and highest quality kombucha.
To achieve that we brew the traditional way and leave our kombucha unfiltered for a fuller depth of flavour.
Plus, we’re certified organic: better for you and better for the environment.
With every bottle of MOMO, we hope to inspire people to live healthier and more connected lives.
We’re a proud B Corp and featured on The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list in 2024 and 2025.
You’ll find MOMO in Ocado, Riverford, GAIL’s, Planet Organic, Whole Foods Market, and over 1,200 independents.
The opportunity As Head of Production at MOMO, you will play a pivotal role in scaling our brewery from ~45,000 bottles per week to 250,000+ over the coming years.
Reporting directly to the co‑founder, you will lead our production function, overseeing our talented team and ensuring MOMO delivers best‑in‑class product quality, safety and operational excellence.
Founded in 2018, we’ve grown rapidly and are now preparing to scale over the next five years, to become the UK’s favourite kombucha.
The kombucha category is set to explode and poised for many decades of structural growth driven by three mega trends: 1) gut health; 2) low sugar; and 3) alcohol alternatives.
In our view it is where craft beer was in the UK 15 years ago.

Manage and support your direct reports: Production Manager, Compliance Lead and Innovation Manager (engineering), empowering them to structure their teams effectively and deliver results.
Drive the ongoing growth and scaling of our production operations, balancing output, efficiency and quality as production volumes scale.
Lead capital investment projects, working closely with your team and the Head of Finance to implement new equipment and process improvements.
Own production performance metrics, budgets and cost efficiency, ensuring production scales sustainably and profitably.
Take ownership of the production side of our upcoming brewery relocation (Battersea → South East London), including production layout planning, space utilisation and equipment installation.
Champion health, safety and quality standards across the business, embedding a culture of compliance, continuous improvement and accountability.
Act as the senior production voice in cross‑functional decision‑making, shaping commercial plans, launch timelines and growth strategy based on manufacturing reality.
