Head of Grocery Sales - MOMA

At MOMA, we craft quality British oats into great-tasting oat drinks and porridges. As part of the AG Barr family, we get the best of both worlds: the entrepreneurial spirit and agility of a fast-growing plant-based brand, backed by the scale, stability, and 150-year heritage of a UK FMCG leader.

Employing around 950 people across the UK, AG Barr is home to some of the nation’s favourite brands—including IRN-BRU, Rubicon, Boost, and FUNKIN. We are a responsible business that values diversity, supports our communities, and actively works to minimise our environmental impact.

You will oversee our footprint across major physical supermarkets and key online marketplaces, managing joint business plans and cultivating senior-level retail partnerships.
