Serve as the exclusive in-market brand expert for a prestige beauty launch at Sephora locations: drive sales through education and demos, build store relationships, execute events and activations, meet sales goals, and complete post-shift reporting via the Headkount app.
This is not your typical Brand Advisor role. Instead of representing several brands across your market, you'll be the dedicated, in-market face of one high-profile prestige beauty brand — exclusively.
We're keeping the name under wraps for now, but here's what we can share: it's one of the most anticipated launches in beauty right now, built on education, authenticity, and making great skin and makeup feel approachable for everyone. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity to own a brand's presence in your stores and grow with it from day one.
Because you'll be the sole representative for this brand in your market, we're looking for someone with real Sephora experience, strong existing relationships, and the kind of ownership mindset that turns a launch into a success story.
This role is for dedicated brand support in the Boston, MA area.
