Job description
The Brand
Jake & Nayns’ launched with the Naanster in 2017 With an ambition to shake up the convenience food market. Taste and product quality are at the heart of the brand. Two brothers one goal! Inspired by eating their mum’s amazing food, Jake & Nayns’ created a niche range of delicious handheld streetfood snacks – drawing on their own experience of developing restaurant quality dishes over many years before their pioneering launches of naansters then burrito’s.
Jake & Nayns’ now has added samosas and fresh flavours to the naanster and burrito ranges. They are the ultimate convenience food, that can be eaten hot or cold, on the go or as a meal.
Over the last 4 years, we have grown our business, with the key focus on becoming one of the largest food brands in our category. Our focus is to drive trial, awareness and distribution points so more people can enjoy our delicious food, anywhere, anytime. Our customers include Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Boots, Coop and many wholesalers servicing the convenience channel.
Our head office is in Leicester, and we are a hardworking and curious team, on a great adventure to enable more people to eat Jake & Nayns’. We’re interested in recruiting a couple of new members who get things done, are curious about people and food, can deliver to a high standard, are commercially savvy and want to make a difference in a startup.
