Senior Commercial Director / Ready to Drink Beverages (FMCG)

Five years ago, we didn't enter the collagen category, we helped create it.

Revive Collagen pioneered the premium single-serve, ready-to-drink collagen category, changing consumer perception and helping establish collagen as a mainstream wellness product.

Today, we've sold over 35 million units, one box is sold every 30 seconds, our products are available in more than 10,000 retail doors globally, and we've become one of the UK's leading collagen brands.

Now we're ready to do it all again.

We're entering the Ready to Drink beverage market with one ambition: to build the world's leading collagen RTD brand.

This isn't a business looking for someone to maintain an existing portfolio.

This is an opportunity to create something category-defining from the ground up, backed by an established global brand with proven retail relationships, marketing investment and the ambition to move fast.

We're looking for an exceptional senior commercial leader who has spent their career building winning drinks brands.

You've successfully launched products, scaled brands, secured major retail listings and understand every stage of taking an idea from concept to national distribution.

You’ll own the commercial strategy, shape our go-to-market plans, lead retailer negotiations, develop strategic partnerships and play a pivotal role in building what we believe can become one of the most exciting functional beverage brands in the world.

You’ll be equally comfortable presenting to major retailers, negotiating commercial agreements, working alongside product development, influencing brand strategy and rolling up your sleeves to solve problems as they arise.

This role requires someone who thrives in a fast-moving entrepreneurial business and enjoys building rather than maintaining.

You know the drinks industry inside out.

You have an exceptional network, understand the commercial levers that drive success and have a track record of creating brands that consumers love and retailers back.

Most importantly, you’re driven by the opportunity to build something that leaves a lasting mark on the industry.

This isn’t for someone looking for their next role.

It’s for someone looking to build the next category-defining Ready-to-Drink brand.

If you’ve done it before and you’re ready to do it again on a global stage, we’d love to hear from you.
