Director of Sales

About the Role

This is a rare, ground‑floor Sales Director role for someone elite in retail sales, elite in leadership, and elite in execution. You will not be handed a polished machine to manage. You will design the sales engine, build the team, break into retail, and push the business far past what anyone thought possible. You will own strategy, execution, partnerships, and revenue expansion.

This role is not for someone who needs corporate structure; it is for someone who sees a blank whiteboard and immediately starts mapping a takeover plan. You will have real influence over the company’s trajectory, not just its revenue line, with the autonomy to move fast, test aggressively, and build something meaningful.
