National Sales Manager - muk Haircare.

Five straight years of 10% growth and a leadership team rebuilt with a growth strategy.

About muk Haircare muk Haircare is an Australian family-owned professional haircare brand, designed by industry professionals. With an international footprint and turnkey product portfolio, we are the trusted partner for professional salons and distributors. Our product portfolio - professional colour, care and styling tools - is sold in salons across Australia and in 15 countries, online, on Amazon and through selected distributors and retailers.

The business is in its biggest growth phase yet, coming off a record year and backed by the largest capital investment in muk's history, with the appointment of a new CEO, CFO and CMO to drive a three-year strategy, in which the National Sales Manager will be crucial.

This role is dynamic, agile and on the move. With a solid emphasis on new product development over the next 18 months, backed by investment in marketing, technology, the education and sales team itself, we are looking for a leader to take control and sell the brand.

Your Role

· Take ownership of the national sales budget and set the commercial direction

· Lead and lift our national sales team - state managers, key account managers and BDMs

· Own the salon and professional channel: more doors, better doors, bigger doors

· Grow our colour business - our strongest product and our single biggest commercial opportunity

· Assist with management of our wholesale and major retail accounts

· Assist our international distributors with growth plans, quarterly business reviews and scorecards

· Get every new launch into market with a trained, ready, hungry sales force behind it





· Bring the forecasting rigour and pipeline discipline the business can plan on (we use HubSpot)

· Report directly to the CEO, with a seat on the leadership team while the three-year plan is being developed

About You

· Proven experience in the professional haircare industry, with real credibility in the salon and professional channel

· A real track record leading large sales teams - and lifting their performance, not just inheriting it

· The ability to translate business vision into strategy, execution and results at scale

· CRM discipline in your bones - HubSpot ideally

· Commercial literacy: margin, trade spend, promotional ROI, pricing

· The backbone to set a standard and hold it

Nice to have

· Technical hair or beauty industry background (we'd love that)

· Experience launching new ranges into the professional channel

· Experience managing international distributors across multiple regions

· You've done this inside a business that was scaling fast and figuring it out as it went

Why muk

Most brands in this category answer to a head office in another time zone, where the strategy is written and a decision takes a quarter. muk is Australian owned and run out of Melbourne.

What's on Offer

· Attractive salary package, with commission and incentive structure

· A seat on the leadership team, reporting to the CEO

· Genuine authority over structure, people and commercial direction

· Proudly Australian owned, cruelty free and proud about it

We're a serious business having a genuinely good time building an Australian brand into something a lot bigger.
