Sales and Partnerships manager in London

Company Description

Wholyme is a fast-growing, science-led wellness brand redefining how people approach self-care and recovery. We believe tension, stress, aches and pains is communication, not something to suppress, and we create highly effective, natural products that support long-term health and wellbeing.

Founded by a scientist and entrepreneur, Wholyme sits at the intersection of evidence-based formulation and holistic care. We are stocked by leading retailers and are now entering an exciting phase of commercial growth.

Role Description

This is a full-time hybrid role. We are looking for a Sales & Partnerships Manager to help drive the next stage of Wholyme’s growth. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who is excited to be on the ground, opening doors, building relationships, and growing retail and wholesale partnerships.

This is not a corporate or purely strategic role. You will be doing the doing, working closely with the founder, and playing a key part in shaping Wholyme’s commercial success.
