About the Job
We have an exciting opportunity for a Trade Sales Manager to drive sales growth and build lasting relationships across Games Workshop’s emerging markets. If you are passionate about coaching, mentoring and creating a supportive environment where your team can thrive, develop new skills and achieve their goals, this role could be for you!
As our Emerging Markets Trade Sales Manager, you will inspire and develop a team of sales professionals, driving success across some of our key strategic territories, working with a mixture of distributors and independent retailers in countries such as Mexico, Chile, Thailand and Vietnam, whilst also being responsible for increasing our presence in more mainstream high street retailers like Target in the USA, or Muller in Germany.
You will play a vital role in executing an ambitious plan to identify and propose new business opportunities, ensuring we secure the right deals aligned with Games Workshop’s strategic vision. Understanding and navigating the unique complexities of our emerging markets – ranging from shifting regulations to rapidly evolving customer needs – will be key to expanding our presence and strengthening our position in these exciting markets.
A major focus of this role will be empowering and developing your team, ensuring they consistently meet and exceed sales targets. With your guidance, we will maintain the highest standards, ensuring we have the right people in the right roles and providing clear direction to maximise performance. Your ability to communicate with clarity and purpose will be crucial in driving collaboration with your team, colleagues, and key partners at our UK Headquarters. Success in this role is not about just hitting sales goals today; it is about building a high performing, resilient team that can sustain long-term growth in our emerging markets.
If you are someone who thrives in a fast-paced, results-driven environment and leads with honesty, humility, and the courage to support your team through challenges, we want to hear from you!
