Retail & Distributor Outreach Assistant (Part-Time, Contractor) plus commissions & bonuses

About the Role

I’m the founder of a growing natural, vegan skincare and sunscreen brand based in the UK. I’m looking for a reliable, detail-oriented assistant to help manage outreach to retail stockists and distributors.

This role is suited to someone with sales or lead-generation experience who understands wholesale ecosystems and can confidently distinguish between brands, retailers/stockists, distributors, and competitors.

You’ll be responsible for keeping a high-quality outreach pipeline active and organised. I will handle closing and final negotiations.

Lead sourcing & tracking

- Track every account in a simple pipeline tracker or spreadsheet

- Correctly classify leads as:

- Use judgement to flag borderline, strategic, or unsuitable accounts before outreach

- Confirm sourcing status in the tracker if unclear before spending time on it


Sales Cycle & Pipeline Support

- Qualify retailers and distributors based on brand fit

- Maintain clear notes on outreach status and next steps


Research & Prospecting

- Build and maintain a curated outreach list (quality over volume)


Communication & Reporting

Requirements

- Experience in wholesale sales, B2B outreach, account management, or lead generation

- Clear understanding of the difference between:

- brands vs retailers/stockists
- competitors vs wholesale accounts
- boutiques vs large chains

- Understanding of the sales cycle and follow-up process

- Strong written English

- Excellent organisation and attention to detail

- Confident researching companies and decision-makers
