About MOMO Kombucha
We are on a mission to produce the UK's best tasting and highest quality kombucha. To achieve that we brew the old-fashioned way in small batches and leave our kombucha completely unfiltered for a fuller depth of flavour. Plus, we’re certified organic: better for you and better for the environment.
With every bottle of MOMO we hope to inspire people to live healthier and more connected lives. We’re a proud B Corp (the highest-scoring kombucha company globally), and featured on The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list in 2025. You’ll find MOMO in Ocado, Riverford, GAIL’s, Planet Organic, Nando’s, Whole Foods Market, and over 1,200 independents.
The Opportunity

You'll lead national account relationships, build and coach a high-performing sales team, and drive our next phase of growth, all while staying true to our values and culture.
Founded in 2018, we’ve grown rapidly and are now preparing to scale from £5m to over £25m revenue over the next five years, to become the UK’s favourite kombucha. To help us get there, we’re looking for an exceptional Head of Sales to lead the charge.
