Full Time 2 weeks ago
Employment Information

This is a build role and the successful candidate will turn a respected craft brand into a repeatable B2B order book, reporting directly to the CEO.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the full B2B sales cycle across all three channels — prospecting, pitching, quoting, negotiating and closing.
  • Nurture existing and inherited accounts into loyal, repeat-ordering relationships
  • Grow the stockist network in Kenya and regionally, source potential clients, attend trade events, and build retailer relationships
  • Build a year-round gifting pipeline — corporates, banks, hotels, conference organizers and embassies.
  • Manage private-label and corporate manufacturing clients end to end — brief intake, costing with production, sampling with product development, and delivery.
  • Keep the CRM accurate — every lead, stage and close date — with a weekly pipeline review with the CEO.
  • Quote to the pricing framework and own margin, not just top line; work with production and merchandise planning so what you sell can actually be made on time.
  • Represent a premium craft-led brand credibly — buyers are buying the story as much as the product

Key Qualifications

  • 5+ years of proven B2B sales experience, wholesale or key-account sales.
  • Demonstrated Experience selling a physical, considered purchase or made-to-order product.

  • Strong commercial and pricing acumen, with the ability to assess costs and margins, identify unprofitable deals
  • Strong CRM skills, with the ability to manage sales pipelines, while confidently representing a premium, story-led brand.
