From the employer
Stanley/Stella is a premium blank apparel company committed to creating high-quality, sustainable products while building long-term partnerships with customers, dealers and industry stakeholders.
As we continue to develop our presence in North America, we are looking for a commercially driven sales leader who can accelerate growth, strengthen our market position and lead our sales organisation to the next stage.
As Vice President of Sales, you will own the commercial development of the North American market.
This is a senior leadership role combining commercial strategy, business development, key account management and people leadership.
We are looking for someone who can think strategically but is equally comfortable being in front of customers, developing new business, negotiating opportunities, strengthening relationships and coaching the team in the field.
This is a hands-on commercial leadership role. The successful candidate will not simply define the strategy and delegate its execution. They will actively contribute to market development, customer growth and revenue generation while building the capabilities of the sales organisation. Drive Commercial Growth
