You’ve come to the right place!

Here at Coeliac UK, we are looking for someone like you! We have an exciting role for you as our new Commercial Business Development Manager.

As an experienced sales professional you will sell our Crossed Grain Trademark Licensing and appropriate services to improve the accessibility and safety of gluten free food. Our community relies on our work to enjoy life to the full, despite having lifelong health challenges.

The surplus income that you will be generating helps the charity fund our work by providing support for people affected by coeliac disease and pay for important research that we hope will one day lead us to a cure.

We’re a talented, committed and friendly bunch, already working with the most recognised global Brands.  We are passionate about making a difference and working as a team to regularly punch above our weight in a very competitive charity sector. We’ve been around for over 50 years and are seen as the global experts in supporting people with coeliac disease. Despite our longevity, we’re still excited about all the new opportunities around us to improve the impact we make. We just need the right people to help us.

If you enjoy big picture thinking, developing new business and fostering long term partnerships this is the role for you. In return you will be joining us as we transform the way we work - investing in new technology, new premises, working flexibly, thinking innovatively, and having fun together, to inspire us all to bring out the best in everyone and make life better for people affected by coeliac disease.
