The Role
Be the exclusive, in-market representative for a high-profile prestige beauty brand at assigned Sephora locations. Drive sales through education, demos, and relationship-building with store teams; execute launches, events, and activations; meet sales goals; complete post-shift reporting using the Headkount app (Connecteam). Maintain brand standards and serve as the primary face of the brand in your market.
Summary Generated by Built In
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 is a dedicated role for the Upper Manhattan market area.
