National Account Manager – Wholesale & Foodservice
Location: Hybrid (field-based with national travel + London office)

Lemonaid & ChariTea is hiring! We’re looking for a commercially savvy, hands-on National Account Manager to drive our growth in the wholesale, foodservice, and QSR channels – with a focus on contract caterers, workplace providers, and national wholesalers.
You’ll be building brand love, unlocking new listings, and bringing our drinks to life at depot days, trade shows and tastings. This role blends strategic thinking with on-the-ground execution – and is ideal for someone who enjoys both.
About Us
Since 2009, Lemonaid & ChariTea has been on a mission to shake up the soft drinks market with Fairtrade, organic beverages that make a real difference. Every bottle sold contributes 5p to the Lemonaid & ChariTea Foundation - raising over £10 million for social projects in our sourcing regions.
With a small but mighty UK team and a growing footprint in foodservice and retail, we’re entering an exciting phase of expansion. You’ll be joining a tight-knit, mission-driven team with the chance to make a genuine impact.
