OOH National Account Manager

Verenigd Koninkrijk
St Albans
A little bit about us, we are BEAR!     We’re an ambitious young company determined to take a big bite out of bad snacking habits. Grrr.     We make pure fruit snacks with no added nonsense that make being healthy a little bit easier and a whole lot tastier. Real Fruit, Real Flavour, Real Fun!       We started out making our tasty pure fruit yoyos, and now also make a whole host of other tasty pure fruit products too that go into several snacking categories: ‘paws’ for babies and toddlers, crunchy ‘Alphabites’ cereal with no refined sugar or salt. Ice lollies made from only two ingredients and a big ambition to take this brand beyond the above.     Since we launched 14 years ago, we’ve grown quickly and we are currently sold in all the UK’s supermarkets and grrreat stores across the UK.     Now we are taking BEAR around the world and have really ambitious plans for our international growth. We are a growing team of 38 people, as well as our colleagues in the Lotus Bakeries Natural Foods division; a family of brands that we joined in 2021.
