Type: Full-Time (40 hr/week) | Location: Hybrid - Manchester (or within a 30 mile radius)

Lemonaid Beverages is looking for a full-time field sales and relationship superstar to help spread our social mission across the North of England. Are you an outgoing and extroverted self-starter with a can-do attitude and strong drive to score? Then do apply to join us on our mission to champion a brand that’s all about social change, passion, and willingness to make impact.

Since 2009, we’ve been on a mission to shake up the soft drinks market with Fairtrade, organic beverages that make a real difference. Every bottle sold contributes 5p to the Lemonaid & ChariTea Foundation, and together we’ve raised over £11 million to fund impactful social projects in our sourcing regions. Our goal is simple yet powerful: to inspire social change, one drink at a time. You can learn more about our journey and the Foundation’s work here.

And it’s not just words - every year, we pack our bags and visit our growers and project partners, like the Heiveld Cooperative in South Africa, to see the impact first-hand.

What started as a small idea in Germany has grown into a global movement. Today, our team of 130 Lemonaiders spans six countries, and in the UK, a dozen of us are driving sales and marketing to new heights.

With fresh senior global leadership and a clear vision for the future, we’re entering an exciting phase of expansion. We’re focused on winning new business across London - and we need the right person to join us on this journey.
