Description

Senior Payables Assistant to join our growing finance department


About Us:

We start with the idea that, if 3⁄4 of your drink is the mixer, then you should use the
best.

Fever-Tree is the world's leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers for alcoholic spirits by retail sales value, with distribution to almost 80 countries worldwide.

Based in the UK, the brand was launched in 2005 by Charles Rolls and Tim Warrillow to provide high quality, natural mixers which could accompany the growing demand for premium spirits.

We are continuing to develop and innovate, launching new products in exciting categories such as adult soft drinks and cocktail mixers.

As such, the environment at Fever-Tree is fast-paced and requires initiative and proactivity to succeed.

We're looking for people to help define how Fever-Tree evolves as a brand as we continue to grow and innovate within the mixer category.

The next few years will be an incredibly exciting time to join the business
