EXPORT MANAGER
THE OPPORTUNITY
We’re looking for an ambitious Export Manager to take Hip Pop to the world. We’ve already made waves in the Netherlands, Iceland, and New Zealand, with more in the pipeline. This is a cracking opportunity to join a fast-scaling soft drinks challenger brand at the point where international growth is kicking off properly.
THE BRAND
We’re Hip Pop – makers of award-winning soda and kombucha. Low calorie, gut-friendly and made without any sweeteners. We’re stocked in Waitrose, M&S, Sainsbury’s, Co-op, Bidfood, Zizzi, and more. We’re based in Manchester and growing fast across grocery, foodservice and international.
Our brand is bold, no-nonsense and built on real ingredients and real benefits.
THE ROLE
We need someone who can get us on the shelf and in the fridge across priority international markets. You’ll be responsible for opening new doors, managing relationships with distributors, and turning early wins into repeat orders. You’ll be strategic, scrappy and not afraid to get stuck in.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
• Own and grow our international distributor network
• Win new retail and foodservice listings overseas
• Work with ops and marketing to make exports run smoothly
• Represent Hip Pop at international shows and events
• Track performance and report on key metrics
• Help shape our international strategy with senior leadership
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
• Proven success in international FMCG sales
• Experience managing distributors and retailers abroad
• Commercially sharp, with strong negotiation skills
• Organised, driven, and outcome-focused
• Ideally with experience in premium drinks or challenger brands
• Based in the UK with ability to travel abroad when needed
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU
• Be part of a challenger brand shaking up soft drinks
• Competitive salary and performance-based bonus
• Opportunity to grow with the brand and shape our global story
• Loads of autonomy and real ownership
• Great people, good vibes, and a mission that matters
LOCATION
Hybrid – we’re based in Manchester at Bonded Warehouse, but open to candidates across the UK who can be in the office a couple of times a month
START DATE
ASAP – but we’ll wait for the right person
