[Hiring] Sales Development Representative @Inis - Fragrances of Ireland

Role Description

This is a growth-path role for an ambitious, early-career salesperson who wants to learn the US gift market from the ground up and grow into greater sales and account responsibility over time. You will work closely with our North America Sales Manager - supporting the accounts and rep network that drive the business today and steadily taking on more opportunity as you develop.

If you are hungry, organized, and want a brand worth believing in and room to prove yourself, this is a rare chance to grow with a beloved, independent company.

What you'll do

• Support Sales and Growth (the heart of the role)
• Support the North America Sales Manager in growing current customer base and developing new Independent, key-account and multi-door opportunities.
• Build data-driven but compelling category stories tailored to each new customer.

• Vet and research new accounts and locations, helping decide where the brand will fit.
• Learn & build the selling story.
• Build familiarity with category, data-driven and merchandising thinking and start contributing and creating presentations that win and grow customers.
• Grow into rep-network support
• Support our independent rep groups - Acting as a reliable point of contact, coordinating information, and, as you develop, taking on more hands-on rep-group management over time with focus on Midwest and West.
• Produce and send the monthly rep reports and use them to help track territory performance.
• Support the operational backbone
• Manage data files - keeping account, rep, and sales records accurate and up to date.
• Support trade-show setup and logistics - the multiple registration portals each show requires, plus reservations and show details. Attend key Trade shows in alignment with NA sales manager.
• Support vendor and key-account paperwork.

Qualifications

• Min of 2 – 5 years of sales, account, or sales-support experience - ideally with some consumer goods Consumer Products Companies (fragrances, beauty, personal care, lifestyle).

• A warm, credible communication style who builds easy relationships with reps, customers, and colleagues.
• Strong capability in building strategic selling stories.
• Strong organisational capabilities - genuinely reliable with paperwork, portals, deadlines, and data accuracy.
• Hungry, coachable, and ambitious - someone who wants to learn the market and grow into a bigger sales role.
• Willing to travel, including multi-day trade shows, and able to self-manage in a remote role.
• Curious about the gifting channel and excited to learn a distinctive, much-loved brand.

Desirable
