Sales & Brand Growth (Artisan Hospitality & Creative Brands)

Location: Remote (South Africa based, Cape Town preferred)
Salary: R20,000-R25,000 per month 
Type: Full-time
Working Hours: UK business hours (approx. 08:00–16:30 UK time)

About Us

We are a small group of artisan-led, founder-driven businesses built on craftsmanship, creativity and genuine pride in what we produce.

Our brands include:

• A handcrafted wholesale bakery supplying the hospitality industry
• A creative studio space in a unique heritage setting
• An events-focused brand built on collaboration and experience

Everything we create is made with care, intention, and respect for quality. We do not operate as a mass-market business. We build relationships, not transactions.

We are now looking for someone who genuinely connects with this way of working. Someone who values craft, storytelling, and long-term relationships.

The Role

This is a Sales & Brand Growth role with a strong relationship focus.

You will represent our brands in the hospitality and creative industries, helping us build meaningful, long-term partnerships with clients who value quality and authenticity.

This is not a high-pressure sales role. It is a role for someone who understands how to introduce people to exceptional products and build trust over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and nurture relationships with hospitality and creative industry clients
• Introduce and represent our artisan bakery products to hotels, restaurants, cafés, and groups
• Conduct thoughtful outreach to potential partners aligned with our brand values
• Manage and grow a pipeline of meaningful long-term accounts
• Support bespoke product discussions and collaborative opportunities
• Communicate our brand story with authenticity and confidence
• Work closely with the founders to support brand growth direction

What Success Looks Like

• Long-term hospitality clients who value and return to our products
• Strong, trusted relationships built over time
• Sustainable and consistent business growth
• Clients who see us as a partner, not just a supplier
• Thoughtful expansion into aligned markets

Who This Role Is For

We are looking for someone who is:

• Naturally warm, personable, and relationship-driven
• Genuinely interested in food, hospitality, events, or creative industries
• Drawn to artisan, handcrafted, quality-led products
• Comfortable building relationships over time rather than chasing quick wins
• Confident in communicating brand stories with authenticity
• Self-motivated, organised and reliable in a remote environment

This role suits someone who values
meaningful connection over volume-based selling.

Who This Role Is Not For

This role will not suit someone who:

• Prefers fast-paced, aggressive, target-driven sales environments
• Focuses on transactional or high-volume cold selling
• Is motivated purely by commission without brand interest
• Does not enjoy relationship-building or long-term client development
• Is looking for a purely administrative marketing role

Experience

• Experience in sales, business development, hospitality, events, or artisan food is beneficial
• However, alignment with our values and communication style is more important than specific industry experience
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential
  
  

Working Arrangement

• Remote role based in South Africa
• Full-time role aligned to UK business hours
• Close collaboration with founders and leadership team
• High level of trust, autonomy and involvement in brand growth
  
  

Compensation

• Base salary: R20,000.00pm-R25,000.00pm
• Opportunity for growth based on contribution and alignment
