  • Experience selling into the USA retail market,  within the consumer durables  sector.
  • Amazon marketplace experience would be a significant advantage
  • A strong work ethic, with a passion for identifying and developing new business opportunities.
  • Ability to work independently and proactively, setting priorities without constant supervision.
  • Excellent organisational skills, with experience using ERP or similar systems.

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage and represent the brand effectively.
  • High level of numeracy skills, with a solid understanding of pricing, profit, and margin metrics.
  • A genuine passion for design, sustainability, and premium products, as well as awareness of environmental and ecological trends.
  • A team player with a friendly, adaptable personality, who thrives in a fast-paced environment.

 

What we offer:

  • A competitive salary package designed to attract top talent.
  • Hybrid working model: 3 days in our Central London office (SE1 0RB), 2 days remote.
  • The opportunity to work with a passionate and entrepreneurial team.
