    Job Description

    About Citizens of Soil:

    We're creating the UK's favourite brand of olive oil; a show-stopping brand for modern citizens who care about quality, transparency, and sustainability.

    We work with female-led groves who practise regenerative agriculture. Our oils represent the people and places they come from, with a line-up of inspiring producers across the Mediterranean under our brand, Citizens of Soil.

    Our transparent supply chain means we can trace where every drop comes from and that fair pay is established from the beginning. We're also a B Corporation using business as a force for good.

    We've already successfully launched our products in Waitrose, Booths, Selfridges, Fortnum & Masons, and with Michelin-starred chefs, with many more new exciting new listings to come in 2024.

    We've been called "the Rolex in a sea of Casio olive oils" by the Metro, with Vice saying "consider it a treat for your taste buds" and HuffPost saying our oils "get the chef's kiss." We've also been featured in "best oils" lists with The Times, Evening Standard, and Good Housekeeping.
