## Description

Living Things is one of the fastest-growing drinks brands in the UK, with listings in every major grocer, the best independents, and 20+ international markets. We're less than three years into our mission to make soft drinks that are delicious and guilt-free and we're growing our team.  
  
We're looking for people who want real ownership and the chance to build one of the UK's defining consumer brands.

### The Role

As Head of Special Projects, you'll be the right hand to the founding team – a generalist who can pick up almost anything and run with it. One week you might be helping launch the brand in a new international market; the next, standing up a new internal process, pulling together a board pack, and putting out supply chain fires. You'll work across all teams and functions filling gaps and building the things the business doesn't yet have.

## Requirements

-   Experience in a fast-paced environment – startup, consulting or a similar high-tempo setting.
-   A sharp generalist: comfortable switching between strategy, execution, and rolling up your sleeves.
-   Exceptional organisation and project management.
-   Strong commercial instinct and comfort with numbers and analysis.
-   Excellent communication skills, written and verbal, with the confidence to work directly with founders and senior partners.
-   Bias to action, high ownership, and calm under pressure and ambiguity.
-   Happy to be office-based in London, working closely alongside the founding team.

### Nice to have

-   Experience in consumer goods, FMCG, or the drinks industry.
-   Exposure to international marketing or market-entry launches.
-   Experience working directly with or for a founder / leadership team.

## Benefits

-   A front-row seat to how a high-growth drinks brand is built and scaled.
-   Direct exposure to and mentorship from the founding team.
-   Huge variety, real ownership, and a fast path to broader responsibility.
-   A collaborative, ambitious team working from our London base.
