About the Company
Anker Innovations is a global leader in consumer technology, dedicated to creating innovative solutions that enhance lives. We're expanding our Baby Products division (e.g., breast pumps) in the UK market and seeking a driven Junior Sales Manager to accelerate growth, leveraging insights from top brands like Elvie, Momcozy, Medela, and Tommee Tippee.
Responsibilities:
- Revenue Growth & Market Expansion
- Develop and execute the UK sales strategy for Anker's baby products portfolio, targeting key channels: retail (Amazon, Boots, John Lewis), DTC, healthcare (NHS partnerships), and specialty baby stores.
- Achieve quarterly sales targets and market share growth, benchmarking performance against competitors (e.g., Elvie's premium positioning, Momcozy's DTC agility).
- Retail & Distribution Partnerships
- Support negotiations with major UK retailers and distributors, securing shelf space and promotional support.
- Identify white-space opportunities (e.g., expanding into pharmacy chains like Super drug or subscription models).
- Market Intelligence
- Analyze competitor activities (e.g., Medela's clinical partnerships, Tommee Tippee's mass-market dominance) to refine pricing, promotions, and product assortments.
- Provide feedback to HQ on local trends, regulatory requirements (UKCA/CE), and product improvements.
- Cross-functional Collaboration
- Work with marketing to localize campaigns (e.g., leveraging UK parenting influencers, mom communities).
- Partner with supply chain to ensure inventory alignment with demand peaks (e.g., seasonal gifting periods).
Qualifications:
- Experience: 1+ years in UK sales within consumer tech/electronics, baby/maternal products, or healthcare devices. Baby/maternal experience is a plus but not required.
- Exceptional recent graduates will also be considered — no visa sponsorship available.
- Track Record: Hands-on experience in sales or account management, with a demonstrated ability to drive growth in a fast-moving, 0-to-1 environment.
- Industry Knowledge: Deep understanding of UK consumer market dynamics, purchasing behaviors, and compliance standards, with the ability to quickly ramp up on the baby/maternal category.
Required Skills
- Strong negotiation and relationship management (retailer/distributor networks).
- Data-driven (Excel, Salesforce, Nielsen/IRI analytics).
- Entrepreneurial, aggressive mindset — self-driven, results-oriented, and comfortable owning outcomes in a 0-to-1 stage, with the agility to test new channels.
- Existing relationships with key buyers at UK retailers.
