Master Brewer / Co-Founder Opportunity

The Opportunity

We’re a small but ambitious startup building something special—and we’re looking for an experienced brewer to join us as a Co-Founder and Brewing Lead.

This is not a traditional job position. It’s a founding role for someone who wants to join the journey of building Kombucha Inc. from the ground up.

As a founding team member, you’ll play a key role in shaping our products, brewing operations, and production strategy. Together, we’ll define not only what we brew—but how we grow the company.

We’re looking for someone with hands-on brewing experience, a strong sense for quality and flavour, and the ambition to help build something long-term.

Joining the founding team requires a meaningful commitment to the company, either through capital investment, time investment (sweat equity), or a combination of both.

Your Role & Impact

Product & Brewing Leadership

• Help lead and develop brewing and production operations.

• Contribute to product quality, consistency, and innovation.

• Develop and refine core recipes and seasonal releases.

• Work toward scalable brewing processes that maintain craft quality.

• Help establish production systems and quality practices as the company grows.

Research, Development & Innovation

• Participate in new product development from concept to market.

• Experiment with ingredients, techniques, and flavour profiles.

• Help translate creative small-batch ideas into scalable products.

• Contribute to testing and continuous improvement.

Operations & Supply Chain

• Help identify and build relationships with ingredient suppliers.

• Support production planning and inventory management.

• Contribute to building efficient brewing workflows.

• Ensure compliance with relevant safety and regulatory standards.

Strategic & Commercial Input

• Collaborate on product portfolio and brand positioning.

• Align brewing capabilities with market opportunities.

• Support product launches and go-to-market planning.

• Contribute to long-term decisions around equipment, facilities, and growth.

Equity & Commitment

This is a Co-Founder position, meaning ownership in the company comes through active contribution and commitment.

Entry into the founding team is structured through one of the following:

• Capital investment into the company,

• Sweat equity through significant time and operational involvement, or

• A hybrid combination of both.

The final equity structure will reflect experience, contribution, investment, and long-term commitment.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re open to different profiles, but ideally someone who:

• Has practical brewing experience (craft brewery, beverage production, or similar).

• Has worked with recipe development or product production.

• Enjoys both the creative and operational sides of brewing.

• Has an entrepreneurial mindset and interest in building a company.

• Is willing to invest significant time, energy, and potentially capital into creating something long-term.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants ownership and responsibility — someone who is passionate about joining our journey. This is much more than just a job.
