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).

- 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).

- Partner with supply chain to ensure inventory alignment with demand peaks (e.g., seasonal gifting periods).

- 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.
