This is a place where strong leaders can craft far more than an incredible career they can shape the future of a brand with global reach and local relevance.

The Opportunity

The Divisional Sales Director West Coast is a mission-critical commercial leadership role responsible for driving performance, execution, and growth across one of Pandora North America’s most important divisions. This leader will oversee sales performance across physical channels of distribution, including owned and operated concept stores, department stores, shop-in-shop locations, and multi-brand accounts.

Reporting to the Vice President, Sales, this leader will serve as a strategic partner to the North America Sales leadership team, translating enterprise priorities into field execution, strengthening leadership capability, and building a high-performance culture that delivers revenue growth, profitability, operational excellence, and an exceptional customer experience.

What Success Looks Like

• Deliver consistent revenue growth, profitability, and commercial KPI improvement across the division.
• Strengthen field execution discipline through clear operating rhythms, store visit standards, follow-up, and accountability.
• Improve customer experience, conversion, labor productivity, brand standards, and operational consistency across channels.
• Build, coach, and retain a high-performing team of Divisional Sales Managers and field leaders.
• Create strong partnerships with department store teams, wholesale partners, and cross-functional teams to unlock growth and solve business challenges.
• Lead with an enterprise mindset, balancing short-term performance with long-term brand health, talent development, and sustainable growth.

Your Role as Divisional Sales Director

• Set and execute the short- and long-term sales strategy for the West Coast division, aligned to Pandora North America priorities and overall commercial objectives.
• Own divisional performance across revenue, profitability, conversion, traffic, labor productivity, inventory execution, brand standards, operational standards, and customer experience.
• Translate data, field observations, and market trends into focused business plans that improve performance and create scalable best practices.
• Coach and develop Divisional Sales Managers to lead with clarity, accountability, commercial discipline, and strong store-level execution.
• Maintain a strong field presence through regular market visits, store visits, partner meetings, and leadership coaching in the field.
• Recruit, develop, and retain top field talent, strengthening succession plans and elevating leadership capability across the division.
• Partner with wholesale retailers and key accounts to drive profitable growth, brand consistency, and strong partner engagement.

• Role model Pandora’s leadership behaviors, creating a culture that is performance-driven, inclusive, collaborative, and grounded in mutual respect.

The Ideal Candidate

The strongest candidate will be a commercially sharp, field-oriented, high energy, enterprise-minded leader who can zoom out to shape strategy and zoom in to diagnose execution. This person brings the credibility to influence senior stakeholders, the discipline to drive measurable results, and the leadership maturity to build strong teams through clarity, coaching, and accountability.

This leader should be comfortable operating in a complex, fast-paced, matrixed environment and must be able to simplify priorities for field teams, create alignment across channels, and inspire action at every level of the organization.

Craft your career with us if you have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Retail Management, or a related field; equivalent experience will also be considered.
• 15+ years of progressive multi-store, multi-region, or divisional leadership experience in retail, wholesale, or consumer-facing commercial environments.
• Demonstrated success leading both owned retail and wholesale, department stores, or partner-operated business models.
• Strong commercial acumen with experience managing revenue, profitability, labor productivity, inventory, and key performance indicators.
• Proven ability to diagnose business trends, identify root causes, and convert insights into clear action plans that improve results.
• A strong talent mindset with demonstrated ability to coach, develop, retain, and succession-plan high-performing leaders.
• Excellent relationship-building and influencing skills across field teams, senior leaders, franchise owners, wholesale partners, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complexity, create alignment, and motivate teams around priorities.
• Comfort operating with ambiguity, leading through change, and balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
