About the Role
Original Duckhead is a fast-growing, design-led umbrella brand stocked by leading retailers worldwide. We’re looking for a commercially driven B2B Sales Executive to grow our wholesale partnerships across the UK, Europe, and the US.
This is a front-line sales role where you’ll take ownership of finding, pitching, and winning new retail partners, from independent boutiques to department stores. You’ll also develop key accounts, increasing range and order frequency. It’s a high-impact opportunity for someone ambitious, entrepreneurial, and ready to help scale a brand with purpose.
What You’ll Do
* Win new accounts: Prospect, pitch, and close new retail partnerships.
* Grow existing stockists: Drive repeat orders, introduce new collections, and deepen relationships
* Own your pipeline: Manage leads and report progress using HubSpot.
* Represent the brand: Attend trade shows and buyer meetings in the UK, EU (Germany, France), and the US.
* Collaborate: Work closely with marketing and operations to deliver a seamless customer experience.
What You’ll Bring
* 2 to 4 years of B2B sales experience in wholesale, lifestyle, gifting, or design-led consumer goods.
* A track record of winning new business, not just managing existing accounts.
* Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
* Highly self-motivated, target-driven, and confident managing your own time.
* CRM experience (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar).
* Based in or able to commute to our Clapham HQ, with willingness to travel for trade shows and client meetings.
Why Join Original Duckhead
* Earning potential: Uncapped commission with monthly reporting (commission is calculated monthly and paid the following month once payment has been received).
* Flexibility: Flexible working hours and one work-from-home day per week (currently Thursdays).
* Career growth: A clear path from Sales Executive to Senior Sales, and future progression into Partnership or Strategy roles.
* Travel: Opportunities to represent the brand internationally at trade shows and retailer meetings.
* Culture: A collaborative, ambitious team that values creativity, autonomy, and results.
* Perks: Staff discount, free products, and a values-led environment focused on sustainable design.
Note: Benefits and working arrangements are non-contractual and may evolve as the company grows.
How to Apply
If you’re a proactive salesperson who thrives on building relationships, closing deals, and being rewarded for results, we’d love to hear from you.
* Please send your CV and a short note on a new retail account you’ve won, how you found, pitched, and closed it: to careers@originalduckhead.com
