Sales Executive

Lewisham Central, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

How did an engineer designing engines for Ford become the inventor of a leading digital coffee roasting technology company with a Farm-to-Cup mission?
Our founder Andrew grew up in coffee producing countries watching his agriculturalist father help farmers grow better coffee. Upon the family's return to the UK, whilst the country was getting their fix from supermarket instant coffee, Andrew & his family would roast coffee in a simple pan to enjoy fresh coffee whilst identifying with the story and journey of their roast.
After swapping a career with Ford for a life in Product Design, it was at the Royal College of Art where Andrew designed and built an early prototype for a home coffee roasting machine that also supported his farm-to-cup mission to better reward producers.
IKAWA was born.
Today the business is a leading global figure in the micro-roasting industry selling direct to consumers and providing solutions to Roasteries, Farmers & Traders to help them produce, showcase and sell the best product.
This is where you come in?
Would you like to be a key part of a team in an exciting company on a mission to revolutionise the world of coffee for drinkers and producers?
If you're an ambitious self-starter and are looking for a long-term career with a global scaling company where you can make a real impact, this may be your dream role.
Lovers of Coffee and / or cool-Tech-for-good / products welcomed with loving arms.
