Jiggly is a new functional snack brand launching soon. We’re hiring a Brand Manager / GM to own day-to-day strategy and execution across product, brand, and growth. The role is for someone who operates with a modern creative lens, can handle ambiguity, and is ready to build something from scratch.
You’ll lead both creative direction and business operations. You don’t have to be a sales expert, but you should be open to pitching—whether that’s landing distribution, brokering retail deals, or flexing direct outreach. You’ll prioritize brand growth, product development, and team culture, taking responsibility for keeping the business technically and culturally sharp.
