    About this role

    Probably the least boring job you’ll ever have.

    At air up, we don’t just make bottles. We unbore water with flavor by scent. It makes no sense until you try it, and once you do, there’s no going back. Behind it all are teams pushing boundaries every day. Product bends taste and design in new directions. Marketing turns ideas into moments people talk about. Operations makes sure those moments reach hands everywhere.

    Working here feels like stepping on stage: professionalism meets passion, curiosity meets courage. You’ll experiment, fail fast, learn faster, and actually see your ideas come to life. It’s refreshingly low politics and low ego. Just smart, driven people who lift each other up and make things happen. And whatever happens, it sure won’t be boring.

    Welcome to air up.

    Our sales team is dedicated to driving sales with both existing and new customers in the offline retail channel. You will be part of a collaborative team and driven colleagues committed to expanding our presence in the offline retail channel.

    As a (Senior) Key Account Manager UK, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and nurturing relationships with our major retail partners, while also leading the acquisition of new accounts in line with our strategic ambitions. We are seeking someone with a growth mindset, who is resilient, thrives in an international environment, and enjoys collaborating with ambitious, driven colleagues.

    Location: Germany e.g. Munich HQ air up

    In this role, we follow a hybrid working model, and being based in Germany is a requirement. If you’re relocating — for example from the UK — we’ll support you with an attractive relocation package. The role requires a balance between in-person presence for team connection at our Munich headquarters, on-site customer meetings in the UK, and remote days for focused, independent work.
