About the Role:
We’re looking for an experienced sales account manager to join our ‘Plenish’ & ‘Jimmy’s Iced Coffee’ brands – the fastest growing brands within our Carlsberg Britvic portfolio. Sitting in our ‘start up’ division, you’ll report into the Head of Sales looking after some of our Grocery accounts – managing or building new buyer relationships to take us to the next level of growth. The role will also come with line management – 1 account exec. 

Plenish is a premium, plant based dairy alternative milks and juice shot company. We are leading the way in health and wellness within each of our categories with our clear USPs – making us the fastest growing brand in both areas.

Jimmys Iced Coffee challenges the RTD Coffee category with our innovative, fun & relatable products & crew. We’re also one of the fastest growing brands & have much planned for 2026 to fuel our growth.

Whilst we are part of the Carlsberg Britvic family, we continue to operate separately with different offices to ensure we keep our founder-lead mentality & start up pace & execution. It’s the best of both worlds.
