(Senior) Key Account Manager - UK Market

Probably the least boring job you'll ever have.
---------------------------------------------------

At air up, we don't just make bottles. We unbore water with flavor by scent. It makes no sense until you try it, and once you do, there's no going back. Behind it all are teams pushing boundaries every day. Product bends taste and design in new directions. Marketing turns ideas into moments people talk about. Operations makes sure those moments reach hands everywhere.

Working here feels like stepping on stage: professionalism meets passion, curiosity meets courage. You'll experiment, fail fast, learn faster, and actually see your ideas come to life. It's refreshingly low politics and low ego. Just smart, driven people who lift each other up and make things happen. And whatever happens, it sure won't be boring.

You will be part of a collaborative team and driven colleagues committed to expanding our presence in the offline retail channel.
