National Account Manager – Luxury Beauty
London - Hybrid
This is not your typical beauty management role.
We’re partnering with one of the world’s most exciting premium beauty and skincare brands to find a commercially driven, people-focused National Account Manager to lead three important retail channels.
It’s a rare opportunity to take ownership of a high-profile portfolio spanning luxury department store, airport retail and premium outlet, with the autonomy to drive performance, develop exceptional teams and create a consistently outstanding customer experience.
The Opportunity
You’ll be the commercial force behind the business across your locations — understanding what makes each channel tick and turning that insight into results.
You’ll lead from the front, spending time with your teams, coaching managers and consultants, identifying opportunities and ensuring every location delivers against its potential.
Your remit will include:
- Driving sales, productivity and commercial performance across all three channels
- Leading, motivating and developing high-performing beauty retail teams
- Building strong relationships with key retail and travel retail partners
- Creating clear action plans around KPIs, conversion, average transaction value and customer recruitment
- Ensuring exceptional standards of service, consultation and brand experience
- Identifying opportunities to grow market share and maximise every trading moment
- Supporting successful launches, events and retail activations
- Using data and insight to understand performance — and acting quickly when opportunities emerge
- Creating a culture where talented people are challenged, developed and genuinely want to stay
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who We're Looking For
We’re interested in ambitious retail leaders who combine commercial instinct with brilliant people leadership.
Experience within premium beauty, luxury retail, skincare, fragrance, cosmetics or travel retail would be highly relevant. More importantly, you'll be someone who:
- Thinks commercially. You know your numbers, understand the story behind them and know which levers to pull to accelerate performance.
- Builds brilliant teams. You don't simply manage people — you coach, challenge, inspire and create future leaders.
- Loves the customer. You understand that in luxury beauty, exceptional service isn't an extra. It's the business.
- Thrives on ownership. You're comfortable moving between different locations, priorities and retail partners while keeping a clear view of the bigger picture.
- Has ambition. You want a role with visibility, responsibility and genuine scope to make your mark.

Why This Role?
Because opportunities combining prestige beauty, multi-site leadership and three very different retail environments don't come around often.
You'll join a highly regarded international beauty business with an exceptional product portfolio, strong consumer demand and a culture that takes both commercial performance and people development seriously.
For the right person, this is the kind of role that can become a significant next step in a long-term career within prestige beauty.
Interested?
If you're currently succeeding in luxury or premium retail and feel ready for a bigger commercial challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply in confidence or get in touch for a confidential conversation.
Due to the confidential nature of this search, the brand will be disclosed to suitable candidates during the recruitment process.
