You'll work closely with the founders, taking ownership of business growth by identifying new opportunities, developing partnerships and nurturing client relationships.

You'll be:

• Experienced in sales, marketing and business development.
• Confident speaking with clients and developing long-term relationships.
• Commercially aware, balancing creativity with results.

• Someone who enjoys identifying opportunities rather than waiting for them.

What Matters To Us

We're not looking for someone who's overly corporate or driven by hard sales techniques.

Our business has been built on trust, craftsmanship and genuine relationships, and we want someone who shares those values. We're looking for someone who enjoys working with people, takes pride in what they do and wants to become part of our long-term journey.

The Kind Of Person We're Looking For

• Warm, approachable and confident with people.
• Commercially minded with a natural ability to build relationships.
• Creative, curious and always looking for new opportunities.
• Hands-on, proactive and comfortable taking initiative.
• Someone who takes ownership and follows ideas through.
• Equally comfortable thinking strategically and getting involved in the day-to-day running of the business.
