Wellness Extract is at a pivotal stage of growth. As brand awareness, trust, and market influence become increasingly important drivers of growth, we are seeking a dedicated leader to own the company's brand presence and partnership ecosystem across its target markets. This role is responsible for strengthening brand credibility, expanding strategic relationships, and building programmes that increase Wellness Extract's visibility, influence, and long-term market position. You will do this through the quality of your own work, your relationships, your judgement, and your craft.

Key areas of ownership include: Brand presence and market awareness Strategic partnerships and relationship development Public relations and brand credibility Influencer, expert, and content partnerships

Role Overview: This is a highly visible senior individual contributor role. You will be one of the public faces of the company the person who builds and holds the relationships that define how the market sees Wellness Extract. You work directly with the Founder and bring the brand to life externally through your own expertise, initiative, and execution.

The ideal candidate is a strong communicator, relationship builder, and strategic thinker who is equally comfortable representing the company at industry events, managing influencer and expert collaborations, engaging with media, and identifying opportunities that strengthen the brand and support long-term business growth.

We are looking for a builder, not a manager; someone who thrives on creating opportunities, developing meaningful relationships, and delivering high-quality work through personal ownership and execution. You are comfortable being the expert in the room without a team behind you. You are comfortable operating with a high degree of ownership and autonomy, translating strategy into execution without relying on a large internal team.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS Wellness Extract has built a real business. The product works, the customer base is growing, and the next chapter of growth is built on brand trust and recognition. We have done this without a dedicated brand or partnerships function. That changes now. We are not looking for someone to manage a department. We are looking for someone who is exceptional at the craft, who can walk into a room and represent this brand with authority, build partner relationships that last, and earn media coverage that money can't buy. If you are the kind of person who thrives doing deep, high-quality, high-ownership work as an individual, this role was written for you.
