Three Ships Beauty is hiring! We’re looking for an Account Manager to own and grow our top retail accounts, and top independent (indie) partner accounts that drive the most revenue in our wholesale business. We are looking for someone who is a unique combination of both a hunter (prospecting to bring on new accounts) and a farmer (growing existing accounts).
These retailers (health & beauty, salons, spas, and independent boutiques) are often where customers first touch, test and fall in love with Three Ships. Your job is to make each of these partnerships thrive: helping them sell more of our products, keeping them stocked and supported, and making sure they experience Three Ships as a true partner.
You’ll report to the department lead of Sales and work closely with our Sales & Education, Marketing, Ecommerce and Operations teams. This is a great opportunity for someone who loves building relationships, gets excited by hitting targets, and wants to see the direct impact of their work on a growing brand.
