Lucky Saint – Social Media Manager 

The Brand:

Be Generous. Stay Humble. Get Lucky.

Lucky Saint launched in October 2018 with an ambition to redefine expectations of alcohol-free beer and we are looking for someone to join us on our journey. In 4 years, we have grown from an idea in the head of Luke Boase, our founder, to a team of 50 highly motivated, talented individuals set on changing the drinks industry.

We launched in October 2018 with an ambition to redefine expectations of alcohol-free beer. Luke spent two years, working with six different brewers in three countries in the pursuit of creating the world’s best alcohol-free pilsner. Unfiltered. Uncompromising. Unapologetic. Rewarding all those who aren’t drinking with the beer they deserve.

Lucky Saint is now the UK’s biggest dedicated Alcohol-Free beer brand, The Official Beer of Dry Jan ‘22 and championing change with our partnership with Harry Corin and Mental Health First Aid England. We’re listed in thousands premium venues across the UK including 61 Michelin star restaurants, The Ivy Collection, Honest Burger, Dishoom, Hawksmoor, Incipio, Pizza Pilgrims and many more plus 4000 grocery stores, including 85% of all Sainsbury’s.

Since launch Lucky Saint has received widespread attention in the media and drinks industry for revolutionising the non-alcoholic beer category, we were awarded Imbibe’s best no/low lager and have been welcomed by the prestigious BBPA (British Beer and Pub Association) as its first alcohol free member in its 116 year history. Lucky Saint is also a member of UK Hospitality, Club Soda and ANBA.

We are a fast-growing team, who all passionately care about the brand and maintain exceptionally high standards at all touch points of the business – whether that’s working with consumers, customers, our suppliers, and each other. We’re interested in people who want to spearhead a revolution in the industry, who are naturally curious, entrepreneurial, commercial, and restless to make magic happen.

At Lucky Saint we believe that a diverse team of enthusiastic, hard-working, skilled people is pivotal to our success. Our employees help us make a difference & grow as a business. Therefore, creating equal opportunities is an intrinsic part of our recruitment process. We do not discriminate against workers or job applicants based on age, disability, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, gender or sexual orientation.

We’d love to hear from you even if you don’t meet every requirement. Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Lucky Saint we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with the experience required in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
