Business Development Representative - Fashion & Beauty
Are you ambitious, commercially minded and passionate about fashion and beauty? Ready to build your career in sales, work with exciting brands and earn uncapped commission?
We're looking for a driven Business Development Representative to help grow a leading student-focused digital platform's partnerships with fashion and beauty brands across the US.
This is an opportunity to get in front of well-known brands and emerging names, build relationships with key decision-makers and show them how to connect with the next generation of consumers: Gen Z.
You'll play a key role in opening doors to new business, creating opportunities and building a pipeline of future partnerships. If you're proactive, resilient and motivated by targets, this is your chance to make an impact in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.
What you'll be doing
- Identify and research exciting US fashion and beauty brands to approach as potential partners.
- Build a strong new business pipeline through proactive outreach via email, LinkedIn, phone and other channels.
- Connect with decision-makers across marketing, e-commerce, growth, media and partnerships.
- Understand brands' commercial goals and demonstrate how the platform can help them reach and engage Gen Z.
- Qualify prospects and arrange meaningful conversations for the Business Development team.
- Track activity, manage your pipeline and use CRM data to improve your results.
- Work towards activity, meeting and pipeline targets, with a focus on consistently creating new opportunities.
- Share market insights and feedback to help shape future sales strategies.
- Collaborate with the wider commercial team to support business growth across the US.
What we're looking for
- Experience in sales, business development, recruitment, retail, media, advertising or another target-driven environment is beneficial.
- A natural communicator who can build rapport and engage confidently with new people.
- A proactive approach to prospecting, with the resilience to handle rejection and keep moving forward.
- A genuine interest in the US fashion and beauty industry and the brands shaping it.
- Commercial curiosity and the ability to understand what matters to a business.
- Someone who is organised, accountable and comfortable working towards measurable targets.
- A coachable attitude, with the ambition to learn, develop and continuously improve.
- Creativity, initiative and the confidence to try new approaches to generate opportunities.
You don't need to have years of sales experience to succeed. We're interested in ambitious individuals with the right mindset, commercial potential and the drive to turn opportunities into results.
What's in it for you?
- Base salary plus uncapped commission, giving you the opportunity to increase your earnings as you deliver results.
- The chance to work with some of the most recognisable fashion and beauty brands in the US.
- Exposure to senior decision-makers across marketing, e-commerce and commercial teams.
- The opportunity to work with innovative technology, performance marketing and Gen Z consumer insights.
- A collaborative, high-performance environment where your ideas and contributions matter.
- Clear opportunities to develop your sales career and progress as the business continues to grow.
