Here We Flo is looking for a brilliant National Account Executive to join our team and help us skyrocket in 2024 and beyond!
Here We Flo is a rapidly growing, feminist & inclusive B Corporation with delightfully big ambitions and wonderfully wise advisors (investors from Harry’s, Charlotte Tilbury, Unilever, Method, etc.). Our co-founders (Tara and Susan) are two best mates who had the idea for Flo while chatting in the bathrooms between classes at uni and ultimately launched it in 2017 off the back of a Kickstarter. Today, you can find us in UK retailers like Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Boots, as well as national retailers in the USA like CVS and Whole Foods. Our small yet vibrantly energetic team has gained loads of momentum, and there are huge milestones ahead.
Our mission is to tackle life’s messiest moments - periods, sex or anything else on the human body rollercoaster - with shamelessly natural, plant-based care. We’re all about being funny, feminist + fierce – with 5% of our profits going to people & planet – so sustainability, humour and empowerment are always on the Here We Flo menu. We’d love like-minded people to help us build our fempire!
