Role Description Find & Win New Partners
Research and identify potential retailers, beauty stores, salons, pharmacies and other relevant businesses. Visit prospects, understand their business and customer base, present our brands and convert them into stockists.
Research Before You Pitch
We expect you to do your homework. Understand the potential partner, their customers, competitors, product assortment and commercial opportunity before walking into a meeting.
Create Persuasive Presentations
Develop presentations and proposals that capture the essence of our brands while clearly communicating why stocking our products makes business sense for the partner.
Manage & Grow Existing Partners
Visit existing partners, build relationships, understand what is working and what isn’t, identify opportunities and help drive product sell-through.
Bring Energy to Fairs & Exhibitions
Be actively involved in exhibitions, fairs and brand activations—drawing people to the booth, starting conversations, educating customers, creating excitement and converting engagement into sales.
Strong Marketing & Persuasion Skills
Understand how to position a brand, tell a compelling story, communicate value and confidently move people from interest to action.
Understand Digital Marketing
Have a good understanding of digital marketing and how content, social media, campaigns and online activity can support awareness, customer acquisition and sales.
Be Analytical & Commercially Minded
Be comfortable looking at sales data, market trends, competitor activity and partner performance to identify opportunities and make informed decisions.
Be Teachable
Open to feedback, willing to learn and able to adapt quickly.
Think Outside the Box & Take Initiative
We want someone who sees an opportunity, comes up with an idea and takes ownership of making it happen—not someone who waits to be told every step.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can move between a boardroom presentation, a retail store visit and a busy beauty exhibition—and be effective in all three.
