NO SAINT is a ground-breaking UK vaping brand and technology platform built for adults who demand better. Launched into UK retail in 2026 with a clear focus on adult smokers, NO SAINT is the vape everyone is switching to because of its attention to detail and clear obsession with catering to consumers who want better.

NO SAINT has been working hard to build its user base and now has over 175,000 users nationally. Now it's time to build a field team on the ground to go where those users shop, through independent convenience stores and local retailers. This role sits at the heart of that growth.

We are building out our Business Development team, starting with three London territories:
East, South West and South East. Each Business Development Manager owns and drives their own territory. Our users are already out there, and they want to buy NO SAINT where they already shop. Your job is to follow that demand in your area: identify the independent stores and local MSOs (multi-store operators) where our users shop, secure NO SAINT on shelf, and turn every listing into consistent sales out and repeat orders.

This is a hands‑on, own‑your‑patch role. You will open new independent accounts, build lasting relationships with local MSO owners and buyers, and grow rate of sale store by store. You are accountable for new distribution, sales out performance, and re‑order rates across your territory, reporting directly to the Head of Commercial.

• The demand is already there. With over 175,000 users nationally, you are not cold selling an unknown brand; you are putting NO SAINT where existing users already want to buy it.
• Genuine ownership. Your territory, your plan, your results, with the autonomy to run it like your own business.
• Ground‑floor opportunity. Join as we build our field team, and help shape how NO SAINT goes to market in independent retail.
• Direct line to leadership. Report straight into the Head of Commercial, with your ideas and field insight shaping strategy.
• A brand people are switching to. A product built with obsessive attention to detail that retailers and consumers want.

• Own and build your territory as your own business, with a clear plan for where NO SAINT needs to be stocked
• Use NO SAINT user and sampling data to map where existing users live, work, and shop, and target those stores first
• Prospect, pitch, and open new independent retail accounts across convenience, vape specialists, tobacconists, and off‑licences
• Convert interest into first orders, securing NO SAINT on shelf with agreed range, pricing, and visibility
• Build and manage a healthy pipeline of target stores, prioritised by user demand and sales potential

• Identify and build relationships with local MSOs and independent retail groups operating across your territory
• Engage owners, buyers, and area managers to secure multi‑site listings and roll NO SAINT out across their estates
• Agree range, pricing, promotional, and visibility plans, and ensure they are executed consistently across every site
• Hold regular business reviews with key MSO partners covering performance, opportunities, and next steps

• Drive sales out, not just sell in, through staff education, POS placement,…
