The Art of Hard Seltzer
Lilo was founded by an art-driven collective, who imagined a lighter and lower tipple inspired by balance and creativity. Using only natural ingredients, each Lilo flavour is crafted with a bespoke botanical spirit from an award winning distiller designed to enhance the flavours in each expression.
There is also style to go with our substance. Our world has been designed by collage artist Maria Rivans, whose work has been the inspiration for our first two flavours – each one inviting you to take your senses on a flavourful journey, one sip at a time.
About us
In the summer of 2019, 4 entrepreneurs who each own relevant but different drink businesses between London, Chicago and Glasgow founded Lilo.
Bringing a mixture of specialisms across commercial finance, beverage development, production, branding, advertising and export, we combined forces to develop a company that would launch a portfolio of targeted, consumer driven premium Hard Seltzers in UK, Europe and beyond.
Following a soft launch in late 2020, the official launch of our first brand, Lilo, is April 2021. For us, the next 12 months is focused on adding more premium listings in the UK, driving brand awareness and establishing the role as the premium Hard Seltzer. Would you like to join our team?
The Head of Sales will initially have full responsibility for establishing and growing The Alcoholic Water Company’s first brand from a developing portfolio, Lilo, the premium hard seltzer into the UK Grocery, Retail & On-trade marketplace.
The business launched its first premium hard seltzer brand, Lilo. One of the lightest and lowest in the market, Lilo is the Art of Hard Seltzer and is clearly differentiated from other Hard Seltzers;
- Each flavour contains a bespoke botanical spirit – crafted to perfectly match its natural flavours, distilled by an award winning distiller
- Each flavour is inspired by the wine category
- It’s one of the lowest calorie brands in market
- It is one of the lowest abv in category (just 3.5%)
- It uses Scottish water (known for its purity)
- Each can has exceptional stand-out on shelf due to its unique artwork designed by globally renowned artist Maria Rivans
The amazing opportunity – a brand new role – oversees the strategy, management and growth of UK sales for Lilo. This includes direct account management of key customers, specifically multiple premium retailers, premium pub operators, premium out of home (cinema, high end bars & hotels) and wholesalers.
"We are searching for someone who is simply 'all in'. Someone who is extremely driven to achieve their end of the bargain without being precious. Always with one eye on the bigger picture, they will be an enthusiastic, focused, high-energy individual who wants to be part of this highly ambitious yet collective team."
The ideal profile is a high-energy Commercial Manager with a proven track record of launching new FMCG brands that attract large UK multi-channel customers (specifically premium grocery & retail). Ideally with a solid branded drinks exposure, you will have evidence of identifying, winning and managing national accounts in the food & drink sector. Charismatic and passionate for premium drinks brands, you will be ambitious with a fierce desire to succeed – and be attracted to the concept of a start-up business working in a fast-growth, hugely exciting category. In a nutshell, a strategic and self-motivated UK sales and national account leader with a “can do” attitude to join our small, specialist team of entrepreneurial drinks enthusiasts.
As well an incredible career opportunity, you will receive a highly competitive salary and a 20% bonus. Shares incentives may be an option for top performers.
"Our Head of Sales will be a fundamental player in our first year out the blocks. You will be the difference between success and absolutely-smashing-it-out-the-park-success in the years to follow. Primarily, the key focus from day one will be building on our premium retail listings to achieve further luxury account off-trade listings as Halo's, but also bringing on strong retailers to deliver volume for Lilo. You will also grow our out-of-home business through selective on-trade and e-commerce, all with the support of specialist teams."
