Role OverviewThe Vice President of Wholesale will lead the Wholesale business in a brand-enhancing manner, with full P&L responsibility. The role requires a strategist who can see where the wholesale business should go next, and an entrepreneur who gets energized by the wide-open space between the idea and the result. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in sales, sales operations, merchandising, and customer care, with a proven track record of growing top and bottom-line results with a large team.
What You Will Do
The Vice President of Wholesale will lead a large team encompassing Sales, Sales Operations, Merchandising, Shops, and Customer Care. The role will involve leading a team of 19 Independent and In-House sales representatives, traveling to meet key customers and attend trade shows, building sales plans and implementing strategies to support strong customer retention and acquisition.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate will be a builder, not a caretaker, a coach, not a commander. Someone who can zoom out to see the horizon, then zoom in far enough to notice what is keeping an order from shipping. The candidate will be willing and able to travel regularly to support the business, and will have a strong passion for social impact.
