National Sales Manager (Sips)

Company Description

Part of the Curated Sourcing group of brands, Sips is a lifestyle accessories brand redefining hydration as an expression of style. Our debut 480ml bottle, crafted from BPA-free Tritan with our signature TPE leather-effect bumper, is designed to seamlessly integrate into daily life, serving both as an accessory and utility. With plans for future collections including bottles, straps, and lifestyle add-ons, Sips invites individuals to find their expression through our products.

The Role

We are looking for a Business Development Executive who is more than just a salesperson. This is a role for someone ambitious, structured, and values-driven - someone who thrives on building relationships, takes pride in their work, and is motivated by creating long-term value rather than chasing quick wins.

You will be responsible for delivering £500k annual wholesale revenue by opening and managing retail & boutiquw accounts, ensuring smooth replenishment cycles, and representing Sips with

professionalism and care.

Responsibilities

• Proactively identify, approach, and win retailers & boutiques across the UK.
• Build lasting relationships with buyers by being reliable, knowledgeable, and solutions-focused.
• Manage the full sales cycle through HubSpot CRM: from prospecting to closing, to repeat order management.
• Ensure replenishment cycles run smoothly every two months by staying close to retailers and anticipating their needs.
• Maintain accurate data and reporting in HubSpot - using it as the single source of truth for accounts and performance.
• Consistently hit and exceed revenue and account targets.
• Represent Sips and Curated Sourcing at trade shows, exhibitions, and in-store meetings with integrity and confidence.
• Share insights and feedback to help improve product development and customer experience.

The Person We’re Looking For

• Driven by results, guided by values: You care about hitting targets, but you do it the right way - with honesty, transparency, and pride in your work.
• Organised and disciplined: You manage your pipeline carefully, never letting opportunities slip because of poor follow-up.
• Resilient and resourceful: You don’t get discouraged by knock-backs; instead, you find another route in.
• Relationship-led: You value long-term trust over short-term gains and know how to become a partner, not just a supplier.
• Commercially sharp: You understand numbers, margins, and what it takes to make accounts profitable.
• Team player: While you’ll own your accounts, you work in line with the wider Curated Sourcing team’s ethos of collaboration, accountability, and high standards.

Requirements

• 1–3 years’ experience in business development or sales, ideally in consumer goods, lifestyle, fashion, or beauty.
• Demonstrated success winning and managing retail accounts.
• Confident working to revenue targets.
• Experience with CRM tools (HubSpot experience a strong plus).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A personal interest in lifestyle, beauty, or fashion is desirable.

Targets & Incentives

• Annual target: £500k wholesale revenue (~75–85 active accounts).
• Commission: 5% on new orders

Growth Path

• Progression to Senior Business Development Manager, overseeing a small team and larger accounts.

Location: UK (remote with travel to retailers, shows, and London team events as required)
