Job Description
Are you passionate about working for a brand that’s striving to make real societal change? Do you want to support some of the UK’s largest brands to make their products menopause friendly? Do you thrive in small, fast-paced environments? Then we’d love to speak to you. We’re Gen M, the menopause partner for brands, home of the MTick, and together with our collective of retailers and brands, we’re bringing choice, trust, and credibility to the menopause marketplace for the 15.5m women experiencing menopause in the UK.
In just four years, Gen M has built a powerful collective of over 140 consumer brands — from Dove, Colgate, Centrum, Sanex, Sure, Wild and Tena to major UK retailers including Boots, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons and WHSmith.
We’ve spoken on global stages, won coveted awards, and conducted pioneering research that shows the changing menopause landscape in the UK. We’re growing at pace in the UK and have recently expanded into Australia and Southeast Asia, with further markets planned for launch within the next 12 months.
