Why Firki?
This isn’t a role where you simply maintain an established brand playbook.
You’ll get the opportunity to help build one — launching new markets, shaping how the brand shows up in trade, understanding consumers firsthand and playing an active role in taking Firki from an emerging beverage brand to a recognisable FMCG name.
We’re looking for someone who wants ownership, exposure and the opportunity to grow with the brand.
