About Us

Lyre’s Non Alcoholic is the world’s most awarded non-alcoholic spirits brand, and we’re Changing the Way the World Drinks. As a fast-growing, high-impact startup, we’re bold in ambition and sharp on execution. We don’t do average – and we’re not looking for it, either. We’re currently on the hunt for a spirited Key Account Manager for our Retail channel who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, own their portfolio, and play a critical role in shaping the future of our business.

About The Role

In this newly created position, you’ll lead the charge for retail growth across the U.S. managing strategic national retail and grocery accounts, distributor relationships, and in-store performance. You’ll drive new product listings, lead activations, and ensure strong brand visibility while collaborating with marketing, supply chain, and digital teams to deliver commercially meaningful outcomes.

Key Areas Of Focus Include

  • Securing new listings and expanding national distribution
  • Driving in-store sales through retail programs and activations
  • Managing major accounts (e.g., Kroger, Publix, Walmart, Costco) and distributor partners
  • Leading pricing, promotions, and trade execution
  • Growing our Ready-to-Drink and core SKU presence across channels
  • Supporting our sales team and championing brand excellence at shelf

About You

You’re a commercially savvy, ambitious self-starter who thrives in high-growth environments and isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves. With a solid background in the beverages or CPG space—including 3+ years managing grocery and retail chain accounts, you’ve delivered sales growth, led high-value accounts, and know how to turn relationships into sustainable results.

You Bring

  • A business related qualification for credibility
  • Strong distributor and retail buyer relationships, with proven negotiation and planning skills
  • Expertise in category management and syndicated data analysis (advanced Nielsen; IRI/SPINS is a plus)
  • Hands-on experience with sales enablement tools, online marketplaces, and supply planning
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and organisational skills
  • A resilient, detail-oriented mindset and the ability to thrive in fast-paced, cross-functional environments
  • Willingness to travel regularly to stay close to customers and opportunities

About The Perks

Working for Lyre’s provides global market exposure in a high growth CPG category. We operate as a fully remote team and we pride ourselves on offering genuine flexibility for your working arrangements. Lyres offer best-in-class benefits packages including health care, 401K matching, performance bonuses, and employee equity plans.
