ABOUT US
Ancient + Brave is a mission-driven wellness brand, founded in 2018 by Kate Prince who saw a gap in the market for sustainable products that support women’s health and wellness. From the start, Kate wanted the company to be unique, creating innovative formulas with targeted health benefits. The elements of daily ritual and ancestral health are integral to the brand.
As a B-Corp, Ancient + Brave meets the highest standards of social and environmental impact. In June 2024, we were named 5th in The Sunday Times 100 fastest-growing private companies. Our brand has developed an incredible following and, following investment from Piper, is ready to scale in the UK and internationally.

An important note on our ways of working…
As a fast-paced scale-up, we’ve found that spending time together in person is hugely beneficial to the way we’re needing to communicate, collaborate, and drive the business forward. We’ve worked hard to make our office (a beautiful old mill situated in East Sussex) an inviting and friendly environment for all of our team members and we expect any new joiner to be in the office full time.
We are an equal-opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace culture. We embrace varied perspectives and encourage creativity that knows no bounds. While most of our roles are advertised as full-time, we are open to discussing part-time setups where appropriate.
