About Yepoda

Clean K-Beauty Innovation. No Compromises.

You benefit from the innovation and results for which K-Beauty is known, combined with a genuine commitment to sustainability.

With a team of over 140 talented individuals from around the world, we are shaping the Yepoda story every day.

The Opportunity

Yepoda is growing rapidly across Europe and expanding internationally; we are building our very first field team. This is an opportunity to be part of it from day one.

You will be Yepoda's representative within Sephora France, not as a sales advisor, but in a field sales role. You will develop sales in your points of sale, train and support Sephora's beauty advisor teams, manage relationships with stores, and ensure that our brand's presentation is impeccable in-store. You will be an account manager, field trainer, and retail sales manager. You will be responsible for relationships, training, and sales across several Sephora points of sale in Paris (exact number of stores to be confirmed).

• Provide a weekly field report covering sales by store, merchandising, and tester photos

• Relay competitive activity and customer insights that inform our business decisions

Your Profile

• 2 to 5 years of experience in prestige cosmetics sales and training, or an experienced beauty advisor looking to advance their career; experience at Sephora is highly valued

• A proven track record of sales development in a retail environment

• Comfortable delivering training, hosting in-store events, and conducting product demonstrations in front of a field team

• Commercial acumen and customer focus, with excellent interpersonal and communication skills

• Truly autonomous and highly organized, you manage your points of sale and reporting independently

What We Offer

• Join a fast-growing K-Beauty brand. Rapid expansion across Europe, international development, and a brand that we are thrilled to see in stores.
