Sales Coordinator - London, United Kingdom - Kids II Inc

Description

At Kids2, we're really good at what we do. And when we're great at our jobs, we help parents be great at their jobs.

Parenting is demanding, and that's where we come in.

We want to reimagine how brands can make it easier for early stage parents - not by just selling them products, but by providing holistic solutions that transcend borders, categories and aisles.

No matter our title or department, at Kids2, our job is to create more tiny wins for parents, so they can create bright futures for their little ones.

That's a big task

We're serious about what we do, AND we love to have fun. Our team is hardworking, entrepreneurial, and passionate about helping families create millions, if not billions of tiny wins.
