Brand Manager - MISSION Brand Marketing London

MISSION is on a path to becoming the world's leading performance tea company, with a range of hot + cold brew tea bags, powders and ready to drink cans.

We've built a strong reputation in the sports world, with our natural, high-performance teas used by the England rugby, football, and cricket teams, as well as hundreds of professional athletes. Last summer, we launched the world's first 100% natural, sugar-free, sweetener-free energy drink, securing listings in Whole Foods, Holland & Barrett, and Ocado, with more exciting nationwide launches in the pipeline. This month we will become the world's first tea brand to be on the side of a Formula One car, after receiving investment from driver Pierre Gasly.

This is a career defining opportunity. With secured funding from several athletes and a select group of experienced FMCG angels, we're now accelerating our growth and are looking for a hungry, driven, best-in-class Brand Manager to help turn MISSION into a household name.
