Operations & Growth Manager

We are looking for someone to join the team as a right-hand person to the founders, Hamish and George. You’ll be working across all areas of the business from operations, to sales and marketing, to events. One day you might be setting up a CRM system for stockists and the next you could be working on brand partnerships or running a market stand.

As we grow, the role will grow and evolve. This is an exciting opportunity to join an ambitious food start-up as the first employee (non-kitchen). Candidates must be energetic, flexible and problem solvers. The founders are based between Cornwall and London and have a shared passion for the sea. Surfing or swimming at lunch will always be encouraged.

What you'll do:

• Operations: manage forecasting, production and distribution.
• Sales: build and manage relationships with stockists, from delis to large retailers.
• Marketing: grow the Fat Fingers brand, including socials, activations and events.
• Project management: manage Fat Fingers’ company operations, from task management to hiring. Help us build an awesome team and culture.
• Everything else: getting stuck into the good, the bad, and the ugly with a positive attitude.

What we're looking for:

• At least 2 years' work experience. More is a plus, but this isn’t a senior role, it’s a launchpad for an ambitious person early in their career.
• No specific industry background required. Experience in food, drink or FMCG is helpful but not essential. You’ll need to like fish fingers, you’ll be eating a lot of them.
• A problem solver. We’re looking for someone who takes ownership and responsibility, doesn't wait to be told what to do, and gets stuck into tasks big and small with a positive attitude.
• Comfortable with variety and ambiguity. This role will look different every month.

Location: Cornwall or London:

• If you’re based in Cornwall, you’ll be in Fat Fingers HQ most days with Hamish and George. Fat Fingers HQ is in Rock, North Cornwall.
• If you're based in London, you'll travel down to Cornwall roughly once a month for time at Fat Fingers HQ. Hamish is in London one week per month and you’ll work together.
