Channel Sales Lead - Beauty & Personal Care (Contract)

A contract partnerships role for a new financial wellness programme aimed at service professionals such as barbers and stylists, helping them build savings from everyday income. The work is hybrid: remote-first with field-based travel for partner meetings and industry events. It suits someone with genuine credibility in the salon, barbershop or beauty trade, whether from selling into salons, working with distributors, or having worked on the service-provider side. The role is ideal for a self-directed builder who is comfortable with ambiguity and enjoys shaping a brand-new initiative from the ground up.

What you'll do

• Build and manage a pipeline of partners across the beauty and barber ecosystem, from first conversation to signed partnership
• Structure partnerships such as co-marketing, revenue share, education content, affiliate and embedded distribution, with legal and compliance input
• Activate partner channels so sign-ups and engagement grow
• Represent the programme at trade shows, beauty conventions and stylist community events
• Maintain a partner tracker and report pipeline and results to leadership
• Work with product, marketing and legal teams to refine the pitch and onboarding experience, using feedback from barbers and stylists

What you need

• 5+ years selling into or working within the salon, barbershop or beauty industry
• Track record of closing relationship-driven partnerships or sales with business owners, distributors or franchise groups
• Experience working independently and managing multiple partners at once
• Strong organisational skills for tracking pipeline, follow-ups and reporting
• Willingness to travel regularly for partner meetings and events
• Comfort with fintech and product concepts, with the ability to pitch them credibly
