Join the Booja-Booja Team
We're looking for an experienced and commercially driven Sales Manager to join Booja-Booja on a 12–15 month fixed-term maternity cover contract.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead a small, dedicated sales team while playing a key role in delivering our commercial strategy. We're looking for someone who not only has the skills and experience to drive sales growth but who will also be a great cultural fit for our values, our team and our much-loved brand.
About the Role

You'll manage key customer relationships, identify new business opportunities, develop sales strategies and forecasts, and ensure the team delivers against revenue, margin and profitability targets.

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.
