We’re The Big Bakes - the UK’s No.1 baking experience - and we’re rising fast! With venues across the country (and more in the oven), we bring joyful, no-experience-needed baking joy to the nation. But behind every sold-out session lies smart distribution - and that’s where you come in.

Our small business is growing, and we’re on the lookout for an experienced Distribution Manager to make sure our experience is out there in the right places, at the right times, and reaching the right audiences. From ticketing platforms and OTAs to corporate and tourism partners, you’ll be the one making sure every seat is filled and every opportunity maximised.

THE ROLE

As Distribution Manager, you’ll manage how The Big Bakes sells across platforms, ensuring our sessions are available in the right places, at the right times, with no clashes. This is not a junior or entry-level role, we’re seeking someone with proven distribution experience to hit the ground running.

You’ll handle:

• Public, corporate, tourism and gift voucher ticketing platform and uploads, for the whole company

• Acquiring, onboarding and managing new distributors (from OTAs and room booking sites to event companies and filming space vendors)

• Optimising session availability, especially during growth periods (e.g. new city launches, seasonal tourism pushes)

• This role will be essential to getting our products in front of the right audiences.

• Finding new distributors and building relationships with entities such as office block management and OTA platforms.
