Sales Manager / Wholesale Manager

About Heist

Our mission is to liberate women from disappointing underwear. Using an innovative combination of technology from sports and space never and our scientific knowledge of the female form, we create underwear world-firsts that will change every woman’s experience for good.

We are one of the UK's fastest growing DTC businesses and with a current team of 25 based in London we have ambitious plans for international growth.

We’re backed by some of the biggest investors in fashion and technology, and on a busy day, we can sell a pair of tights every 15 seconds. Even our tube adverts caused a scandal. Most importantly, we have tens of thousands of customers who genuinely love Heist and the products we develop and ship around the world.
