Reporting Line: Head: Partnerships and Business Development Background and Objectives Founded in 2013, BURN Manufacturing is a mission-driven consumer goods company that designs, manufactures, and distributes clean cooking appliances and premium cookware for underserved households in emerging markets. Revenues generated through BURN's commercial activities in Europe and North America directly subsidise and scale clean cooking access across Africa, enabling millions of households to transition to safer and more sustainable cooking solutions. BURN has commissioned the largest-and currently the only-stainless steel cookware manufacturing facility in Sub Saharan Africa. This vertically integrated facility enables the production of high quality, cost competitive cookware products that meet international quality standards while delivering measurable social impact. To leverage this manufacturing capability, BURN seeks to establish original equipment manufacturing (OEM) partnerships with leading retailers in Western Europe. The objective is to co develop and/or manufacture sustainability themed cookware products for private label or exclusive retail brands, aligned with growing consumer demand for ethical sourcing and environmentally responsible products. BURN is therefore seeking experienced consultants with established retail networks in Western Europe to originate, structure, and close three to five (3-5) strategic OEM partnerships. These partnerships are expected to result in signed pilot sales contracts or full scale manufacturing and supply agreements in advance of Q3 2026. Scope of Work The consultant will support BURN in originating, structuring, and closing OEM cookware partnerships with retailers in Western Europe.

Co ordinating with BURN's internal commercial, manufacturing, and technical teams to ensure feasibility, costing accuracy, and pilot or commercial readiness. Supporting the transition from signed contracts to operational handover for Q3 2026 execution. Deliverables Cookware OEM Landscape Report - concise, insight led, and explicitly linked to commercial decision making. The report must include: Demand Assessment: How leading retailers source private label stainless steel cookware, OEM sourcing models, decision criteria, buying cycles, category performance, margin expectations, MOQs, and sustainability related price premiums. Compliance Expectations: ESG, traceability, and certification requirements retailers expect from cookware suppliers. Competitor Analysis: Key competing OEMs supplying private label or exclusive cookware programs, sourcing geographies, cost positioning, sustainability propositions, and perceived strengths/weaknesses. Commercial White Spaces: Where BURN is competitively advantaged or disadvantaged, including target retailer profiles, product categories, volume bands, and partnership structures. Strategic Implications: Recommendations for product specifications, OEM pitch narrative, target retailer shortlist, and deal structuring. Closed Pilot Sales / Commercial Agreements - origin, negotiate, and close formal, signed pilot sales or full scale manufacturing contracts with a minimum of three (3) major or mid sized retailers. Each pilot agreement must be structured for pilot execution in Q3 2026, with defined pilot volumes (minimum of 1 40ft container), production readiness milestones, and implementation timelines. Cover private label or co branded exclusive sustainability themed cookware offerings. Define performance KPIs jointly tracked by BURN and the retailer, with explicit criteria for progression to large scale commercial rollout in Q4 2026 / Q1 2027. Codify key commercial and trade terms for the post pilot rollout phase, including pricing frameworks, payment terms, MOQs, key operational and quality requirements, and indicative annual demand assumptions.

Terms of Reference (TOR): Cookware OEM Partnership Consultant, WESTERN EUROPE Scope: UK&I, France, DACH, Nordics, Benelux, Iberia and Italy Duration: 3 months (with possibility of extension subject to performance) Location: UK, France, Germany or the Netherlands - with the ability to travel across the region. Reporting Line: Head: Partnerships and Business Development Background and Objectives Founded in 2013, BURN Manufacturing is a mission-driven consumer goods company that designs, manufactures, and distributes clean cooking appliances and premium cookware for underserved households in emerging markets. Revenues generated through BURN's commercial activities in Europe and North America directly subsidise and scale clean cooking access across Africa, enabling millions of households to transition to safer and more sustainable cooking solutions. BURN has commissioned the largest-and currently the only-stainless steel cookware manufacturing facility in Sub Saharan Africa. This vertically integrated facility enables the production of high quality, cost competitive cookware products that meet international quality standards while delivering measurable social impact. To leverage this manufacturing capability, BURN seeks to establish original equipment manufacturing (OEM) partnerships with leading retailers in Western Europe. The objective is to co develop and/or manufacture sustainability themed cookware products for private label or exclusive retail brands, aligned with growing consumer demand for ethical sourcing and environmentally responsible products. BURN is therefore seeking experienced consultants with established retail networks in Western Europe to originate, structure, and close three to five (3-5) strategic OEM partnerships. These partnerships are expected to result in signed pilot sales contracts or full scale manufacturing and supply agreements in advance of Q3 2026. Scope of Work The consultant will support BURN in originating, structuring, and closing OEM cookware partnerships with retailers in Western Europe. This engagement is explicitly commercial in nature and focused on measurable outcomes. Conducting primary research-led assessment of the cookware OEM landscape, informed by direct retailer and industry engagement. Mapping priority retailer targets across modern trade and speciality retail channels, including decision makers and sourcing structures. Defining compelling OEM value propositions for BURN, including product positioning, pricing, and volume thresholds. Leading senior level commercial engagement with shortlisted retailers-outreach, pitch development, negotiation, and deal structuring. Co ordinating with BURN's internal commercial, manufacturing, and technical teams to ensure feasibility, costing accuracy, and pilot or commercial readiness. Supporting the transition from signed contracts to operational handover for Q3 2026 execution. Deliverables Cookware OEM Landscape Report - concise, insight led, and explicitly linked to commercial decision making. The report must include: Demand Assessment: How leading retailers source private label stainless steel cookware, OEM sourcing models, decision criteria, buying cycles, category performance, margin expectations, MOQs, and sustainability related price premiums. Compliance Expectations: ESG, traceability, and certification requirements retailers expect from cookware suppliers. Competitor Analysis: Key competing OEMs supplying private label or exclusive cookware programs, sourcing geographies, cost positioning, sustainability propositions, and perceived strengths/weaknesses. Commercial White Spaces: Where BURN is competitively advantaged or disadvantaged, including target retailer profiles, product categories, volume bands, and partnership structures. Strategic Implications: Recommendations for product specifications, OEM pitch narrative, target retailer shortlist, and deal structuring. Closed Pilot Sales / Commercial Agreements - origin, negotiate, and close formal, signed pilot sales or full scale manufacturing contracts with a minimum of three (3) major or mid sized retailers. Each pilot agreement must be structured for pilot execution in Q3 2026, with defined pilot volumes (minimum of 1 40ft container), production readiness milestones, and implementation timelines. Cover private label or co branded exclusive sustainability themed cookware offerings. Define performance KPIs jointly tracked by BURN and the retailer, with explicit criteria for progression to large scale commercial rollout in Q4 2026 / Q1 2027. Codify key commercial and trade terms for the post pilot rollout phase, including pricing frameworks, payment terms, MOQs, key operational and quality requirements, and indicative annual demand assumptions. Qualified Retailer Pipeline and Deal Tracker - a structured and actively managed pipeline covering at least 2/3 of tier 1 and tier 2 modern trade retailers and major kitchenware / houseware specialty chains across Western Europe. Shortlisted target retailers with engagement status. Assessment of commercial attractiveness - expected volumes, strategic fit, etc. Probability of conversion, indicative timelines, and clearly defined next steps.
