• Commercial Track Record: A proven ability to work towards targets, manage opportunities and consistently convert prospects into customers.

• Consultative Selling: Strong discovery and questioning skills, with the ability to understand business challenges and connect them to a relevant solution.

• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to engage with business owners and decision-makers.

• Organisation & Resilience: Highly organised, able to manage multiple opportunities and comfortable handling objections in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.

• Curiosity & Growth: Naturally curious, commercially driven and motivated to continuously learn, develop and improve.

Your Opportunity at Fresha

• Develop Your Sales Career: Build your skills across discovery, consultative selling, negotiation and full-cycle sales within a high-growth technology company.

• Sell a Product People Need: Help beauty and wellness businesses solve real operational and commercial challenges through Fresha’s all-in-one platform.

• Learn from Strong Sales Leaders: Work closely with experienced commercial leaders and develop within a high-performance sales environment.

• Make an Impact: Your conversations with prospective partners directly contribute to Fresha’s growth across global markets.

• Grow with the Business: Join Fresha at a period of rapid international expansion, with opportunities to take on greater responsibility as the business scales.
