The posting

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
