Job description

SALES AND MARKETING EXECUTIVE

SOUTH CUMBRIA, FULL TIME, £35,000

Love fashion, great brands, and the buzz of winning new business?

We're working with a brilliant independent national retailer that has built a seriously loyal following, a strong online presence, and an established network of wholesale partners across the UK and beyond.

They're now looking for a commercially switched-on Sales, Marketing & Business Development Executive to join the team and help take the brand into even more stores, towns and territories.

What's the role?

You’ll work closely with the people designing the products, looking after customers, running operations and growing the wholesale business. Think less sitting around waiting for enquiries and more: Who should be stocking us? Where aren’t we yet? Who can I speak to?

What you'll get stuck into:

• Owning proactive Sales and Business Development activity
• Finding and approaching new independent retailers and stockists
• Getting on the phone and introducing potential customers to the brand
• Building a strong pipeline of new B2B opportunities
• Turning prospects into active wholesale accounts
• Using Sales and Marketing activity to open up new geographical areas
• Finding gaps in the current customer network and working out how to fill them
• Using Shopify, customer data and AI tools to make prospecting smarter
• Following up new business opportunities generated through online channels
• Supporting B2B Marketing and Sales campaigns
• Representing the brand at trade shows and industry events
• Building genuine relationships with retailers and commercial partners
• Working alongside Wholesale, Marketing, Design, Operations and Customer Service

Who are we looking for?

This is a role for someone who likes making things happen. You'll be given an established brand, a successful wholesale operation and plenty of opportunity, then trusted to get out there and find the next customer.

You don't need to be a stereotypical salesperson.

• Experience across Sales, Marketing and/or Business Development
• A real appetite for winning new business
• Confidence with outbound prospecting and sales calls
• You do need to be confident, curious, commercial and happy to start conversations.
• You might already be a Sales Executive, Sales & Marketing Executive, Business Development Executive, BDM, Account Manager or Wholesale Sales Executive.
• Maybe you're already working in fashion, retail, lifestyle, gifting or e-commerce and want a role with more ownership.

Benefits:

• Private Healthcare / Medicash plans
• Holidays + Bank Holidays
• Onsite Parking
• Pension contributions
• Vouchers and discounts for retailers
• Team days + events

So, if you love fashion, Sales, Marketing and Business Development and fancy joining an independent brand where you can genuinely make your mark, we'd love to hear from you.
