We're Hiring

Digital Growth Manager

ABOUT SOLO

We are Solo. We make great coffee much easier. We started as two baristas that met working in a café. As we progressed through the ranks of the coffee industry we became increasingly frustrated with the gap between the customers and the baristas. That’s when we decided to make it our aim to make great coffee more accessible. We started with cold brew coffee, and then moved in to creating a cold brew coffee concentrate that is used primarily in bars for espresso martinis. Over lockdown our online store grew significantly and has now become a permanent focus for our future. In a few months, we will be releasing a new product that will take us into multiple new sales channels and make us busier than ever. This is why we will need someone to come on board with an enterprising mentality, lots of initiative and a willingness to think outside the box. As well as occasionally lending a hand across all aspects of the business.

Whilst this role is very specific our business moves much quicker than most, and we have exciting plans ahead. We are not a cookie-cutter F&B business, and that requires every member of the team to be prepared to look at unorthodox growth opportunities with an open mind. We often say that we’re not only interested in the coffee, but interested in what the coffee allows us to do. And we see our brand in the same light. We’re looking for somebody that has the potential to exponentially grow our brand and sales. As well as building on our existing growth.
