Job description

Fuego is a footwear and lifestyle brand born on the dance floor and built for the street. What started as a movement rooted in dance culture has grown into a dance-inspired streetwear brand for anyone who moves with style. Our shoes are engineered with the comfort and flexibility dancers demand, then designed to hold their own anywhere: the studio, the street, or wherever the day takes you.

About the Role

We're looking for a Sales Manager to drive Fuego's wholesale growth into streetwear and lifestyle retail. You'll identify and land the right doors — boutiques, sneaker shops, and lifestyle retailers that fit Fuego's brand — and build the account relationships that turn a first order into a long-term partner. This is a high-impact, entrepreneurial role: you'll own the pipeline from first pitch to reorder, working closely with leadership to shape how Fuego shows up in premium streetwear and lifestyle retail nationally and internationally.

What You'll Do

• Develop and execute a wholesale sales strategy targeting streetwear and lifestyle retailers, boutiques, and select distributors to expand Fuego's footprint nationally and internationally
• Identify, pitch, and onboard new retail and distributor partners that align with Fuego's brand and market positioning
• Collaborate with operations and logistics to ensure timely and accurate order fulfillment
• Work closely with marketing and product teams to align seasonal assortments and launch plans with partner needs and streetwear/lifestyle retail calendars
• Represent Fuego at trade shows, industry events, and partner meetings — domestically and abroad

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in wholesale sales, buying, or distribution management within streetwear, sneakers, footwear, apparel, or lifestyle consumer goods
• Existing relationships with or working knowledge of the streetwear/lifestyle retail landscape (independent boutiques, sneaker shops, regional chains) a strong plus
• Proven track record of growing retail and distributor partnerships nationally or internationally
• Strong communication, relationship management, and presentation skills
• Highly organized, self-starter with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Comfortable traveling domestically and internationally
• Passion for streetwear, sneaker culture, dance, or fashion is a plus
• Why Fuego
• Shape the wholesale and distribution growth strategy of a growing global brand
• Work directly with leadership to expand Fuego's presence in premium streetwear and lifestyle markets
• Competitive compensation package and benefits with performance-based incentives
• Creative, collaborative, and entrepreneurial team culture
