We will be totally honest, right now we all muck in on everything and it can be a little messy. But that’s because you’ve caught us at the best time - the very beginning - how exciting is that? The opportunity to bring an amazing brand back to life doesn’t come around too often… so that’s why we’re here and hopefully why you’re still reading this job description…
