They have been operating for over 50 years and manufactured in New York.

This role is building a new outbound-driven sales function focused on generating and closing new business in its high-margin Private Label division.

This is not an order-taking inbound role.

We are looking for strong full-cycle sales professionals who can prospect, run discovery, conduct consultative sales conversations, manage follow-up, and close deals. You will be responsible for building pipeline from outbound efforts, converting qualified opportunities, and helping drive revenue growth inside a modern HubSpot-led sales process.

• →Proactively identify and engage target accounts in the beauty, cosmetics, salon, and emerging brand space
• →Conduct discovery calls and consultation-style sales conversations with founders, operators, and brand decision-makers

• →Build and manage pipeline entirely inside HubSpot
• →Maintain clean CRM hygiene, clear notes, accurate stage progression, and consistent follow-up activity
• →Qualify prospects based on business size, readiness, product interest, order potential, and fit
• →Drive opportunities toward close with urgency and strong commercial judgment
• →Work closely with internal support resources on lead research, account targeting, and sales QA
• →Hand off closed business cleanly to internal operations/order-entry teams as needed
• →Contribute to messaging, objection handling, call strategy, and process improvements as the new sales function is built

You will primarily target “shmedium” beauty businesses, including:

• smaller makeup and beauty brands
• salons and beauty operators expanding into branded products
• founders launching private label beauty lines
• businesses that are beyond hobby stage, but not yet massive retail brands

This role is best suited to someone who understands how to sell into founder-led or lean commercial teams where speed, trust, and consultative selling matter.

• Strong outbound sales ability, including prospecting, cold outreach, qualification, and pipeline creation
• Comfortable running consultative calls and moving deals toward close without heavy supervision
• Excellent spoken and written English with a polished, credible, customer-facing presence
