London, Greater London, United Kingdom Goodrays CBD Full time

About Goodrays

Read on to find out what you will need to succeed in this position, including skills, qualifications, and experience.

At Goodrays, we help busy minds find clarity and calm by bringing the most innovative, effective and accessible CBD products to people who want to improve their mental wellbeing.

We are redefining the CBD category by creating and delivering the most innovative, effective and beautiful CBD products, to stress-conscious consumers. We understand, educate and inspire our customers whilst building an efficient, high-growth and ethical business that has a positive impact on our people, our planet and our customers.

Having grown 422% in the last year, Goodrays is the UK's fastest growing soft drinks brand, becoming the second largest CBD brand in the UK over the last 24 months. Goodrays is the sole supplier of CBD drinks to Tesco, the UK's largest retailer, and one of only two brands launched within Waitrose, the UK's most premium retailer. With a pipeline of mainstream retail launches and expansions taking place in 2024, and high barriers to entry, Goodrays is set to lead the category growth for the next five years.

The Category

Goodrays is leading the UK CBD category growth, which is worth an estimated £690 million annually, and disrupting the global CBD market which is set to grow from $4.7 billion in 2022 to $17 billion by 2026. CBD has become one of the fastest growing categories in mainstream retail with consumers and distributors adopting the category at an extraordinary rate. Google searches for 'CBD' are 26 times higher than other high-profile searches such as 'Low-alcohol beer'. One in five UK consumers have now tried a CBD product and for those who haven't, another three in ten consumers are looking to access the category, tapping into wider health and mental wellness trends. In more mature markets such as the US, over one in every two consumers have now tried CBD, highlighting the immediate opportunity for growth.

The Role

Goodrays is looking for an energetic, organised and entrepreneurial OOH & National Convenience Group NAM to join our all-star team to gain listings, drive volume and brand awareness in 2024 and into the future.

The role will require experience in sales and account management within FMCG business, ideally within a challenger brand. The successful candidate will work closely with the Head of Sales, Head of Marketing and the CEO.

This is a great opportunity to join one of the first mainstream CBD companies in the UK and help us to disrupt the alcohol, sugar and caffeine industries to revolutionise health and wellbeing.
