The role
You'll take a leading role within the UK Wholesale function, responsible for driving sales performance, developing key customer relationships and ensuring the team delivers against ambitious commercial targets.
You'll be responsible for:
• Leading and driving the
UK Wholesale sales strategy
• Delivering against revenue, growth and commercial targets

Wholesale Sales team
• Managing and developing relationships with key wholesale partners and stockists

• Building strong relationships with key customers and commercial partners
• Working closely with Marketing, Merchandising, Customer Experience and wider commercial teams
• Providing clear sales forecasts, reporting and commercial insight to senior leadership
• Representing the brands at

• Acting as a senior commercial voice within the Wholesale function
What we're looking for
You'll have significant experience within
Wholesale Sales leadership, ideally within fashion, accessories, jewellery, beauty, gifting, lifestyle or another product-led consumer business.
We're looking for someone who has experience
leading a team and taking accountability for commercial performance, rather than simply managing an individual portfolio of accounts.

sales leader
• Highly commercial and comfortable working towards ambitious targets
• Experienced in developing and growing wholesale accounts
• Confident identifying and converting
new business opportunities
• Strong at coaching and developing sales teams

• Comfortable operating within a

The role operates on a
three days with the business / two days from home hybrid model.
Those three days won't necessarily mean sitting in the Banbury office. As a senior commercial role, your week could include time at
Head Office, visiting customers, attending trade events or travelling to other locations as required.
The remaining
two days can be worked from home.
What's on offer?
• Competitive salary
