Business Development Manager

We're looking for a Sales Manager to drive our UK growth. This is a hands on role: you'll be opening new accounts, running the phones daily, and building the wholesale and retail relationships that get LIPSTRIP onto more shelves. You need to know the UK nicotine trade already, ideally with existing contacts across wholesalers, distributors, vape retailers and convenience operators. Vape or nicotine pouch experience is essential; nicotine strip experience is a strong plus, but we're not ruling out strong vape or pouch candidates who haven't sold strips specifically. What you'll be doing:

• Prospecting and outbound calling every day
• Turning warm and cold leads into accounts
• Opening new wholesale, retail and distribution relationships
• Building and running a proper UK sales pipeline
• Chasing buyers persistently until deals close
• Managing and growing existing accounts
• Spotting new opportunities across the UK market
• Working directly with the founders to hit sales targets Who we want:
• Someone who's spent time in vape, nicotine pouches or nicotine strips and knows the trade
• Comfortable on the phone, not just sending emails
• Persistent with follow up, doesn't let leads go cold
• Genuinely motivated by hitting numbers
• Happy working in a small, fast moving business where you'll wear more than one hat Location: UK Role: Full time Package: Competitive salary plus uncapped performance based commission If you have strong experience in the UK vape or nicotine pouch industry and think you can help scale LIPSTRIP nationally, we want to hear from you.
