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.
