SALES AND MARKETING ASSISTANT
SOUTH CUMBRIA, KENDAL, FULL TIME, up to £35,000
Love fashion, great brands, and the buzz of winning new business?
We're working with a brilliant independent national retailer that has built a seriously loyal following, a strong online presence, and an established network of wholesale partners across the UK and beyond.
They're now looking for a commercially switched-on Sales and Marketing Assistant to join the team and help take the brand into even more stores, towns, and territories.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a Sales and Marketing Assistant who enjoys a mix of Sales, Marketing, and Business Development and wants to have genuine ownership over growing an established brand.
What's the Sales and Marketing Assistant role?
As the Sales and Marketing Assistant, you'll work closely with the teams designing the products, looking after customers, running operations, and growing the wholesale business.
Think less sitting around waiting for enquiries and more: Who should be stocking us? Where aren't we yet? Who can I speak to?
The Sales and Marketing Assistant will play a key role in finding new customers, generating new business, and supporting Sales and Marketing activity across the brand.
What you'll get stuck into:
- Finding and approaching new independent retailers and stockists
- Getting on the phone and introducing potential customers to the brand
- Building a strong pipeline of new B2B opportunities
- Turning prospects into active wholesale accounts
- Using Sales and Marketing activity to open up new geographical areas
- Finding gaps in the current customer network and working out how to fill them
- Using Shopify, customer data, and AI tools to make prospecting smarter
- Following up new business opportunities generated through online channels
- Supporting B2B Sales and Marketing campaigns
- Representing the brand at trade shows and industry events
- Building genuine relationships with retailers and commercial partners
- Working alongside Wholesale, Marketing, Design, Operations, and Customer Service
- Supporting wider Sales and Marketing Assistant duties as the brand continues to grow
