Commercial Operations & Launch Executive
Role mission
Lead the successful commercial launch of Comcof Shop by coordinating product preparation, suppliers, packaging, customer orders, fulfilment, and early commercial growth.
About the role
Comcof Group is launching its first consumer product line, and this role owns the execution of that launch end to end.
You will work directly with the founder to take our coffee from roasting and packaging partners to the customer, then build the operating rhythm that turns a first release into a repeatable business. This is a hands-on commercial role for someone who wants to be in the room when a company starts trading.
