This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially driven, people-focused leader to take ownership of a large territory, developing a network of around 20 agents and sales representatives across Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, the North and Midlands.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of regional field sales performance, leading and developing a network of approximately 20 agents and sales representatives.

Combining strategic thinking with a hands-on approach, you’ll be responsible for maximising sales opportunities, strengthening commercial relationships and ensuring the regional team delivers against ambitious growth plans.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading, coaching and developing a network of around 20 agents and sales representatives.
• Driving regional sales performance, revenue growth and commercial execution.
• Identifying new business opportunities and developing existing customer relationships.
• Setting clear objectives, monitoring performance and maximising the effectiveness of the field team.
• Working closely with internal stakeholders to translate wider business strategy into regional action.

About You

We’re interested in commercially strong sales leaders who know how to get the best out of people and deliver results across a geographically dispersed team.

You might currently work in luxury goods, fashion, accessories, beauty, premium consumer goods or another brand‑led environment where field sales, independent representatives or regional commercial management are central to success.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Experience leading, coaching or managing a field sales team, agent network or regional sales operation.
• A strong track record of delivering sales growth and improving commercial performance.
• The ability to motivate people, build relationships and influence stakeholders.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial approach to identifying and converting new opportunities.
• The flexibility to travel regularly across the region.

Direct category experience isn’t essential. We’re more interested in your commercial capability, leadership style and ability to drive growth.

What's on Offer?

• £65,000-£70,000 base salary + car allowance + bonus
• A leadership role with genuine regional ownership and influence.
• The opportunity to work within a global luxury goods business.
• A successful organisation performing strongly and entering its next phase of growth.
