Emu Australia
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the global footwear brand EMU Australia, and become part of the successful European team.
A fantastic hands-on sales role, working closely with independent and key retailers across the North of the UK and Ireland.
Your main focus will be the development and growth of Emu Australia’s 365 footwear business with your existing independent retailers. You will also be responsible for introducing the brand into high-quality new retailers in key towns and cities within your sales region.
You will achieve this through travelling in your territory constantly to visit your retailers for brand introductions, order appointments, as well as trainings.
You will organise and manage your own time, planning your journey and customer visits, balancing your time appropriately between existing accounts and developing new business.
Above all, you will work hard to achieve and exceed your monthly and seasonal sales targets.
To increase Emu Australia brand exposure and maximise sell-through, you will create successful Emu Australia ranges within each store, exceeding your customers’ expectations by arranging promotions, visual merchandising, staff training, and connecting retailer’s social media channels with the brand.
You will regularly report progress of your sales region to the European General Manager, with whom you will work together to build Emu Australia’s brand presence.
You have a ‘can-do’ attitude and are able to operate autonomously.
Emu Australia has a strong commitment to developing people and always strives to promote from within the team.
We are looking for a positive, enthusiastic person who may already have some wholesale sales experience in either footwear or fashion. You may have limited or no wholesale sales experience but have experience in fashion retail store management and the sales process.
