Part-Time Client Development & Sales Executive – Luxury Tailoring
Location: The Landmark London, Marylebone
Salary: £24,000–£27,000 basic for 3 days per week + uncapped commission
Job Type: Part-time, 3 days per week
About Richard George Tailoring
Richard George Tailoring is an independent British tailoring business specialising in bespoke and made-to-measure clothing for men and women.
From our showrooms in Warwickshire and at The Landmark London in Marylebone, we work with private clients, business leaders and organisations who value exceptional clothing, personal service and long-term relationships.
We are looking for an experienced, commercially minded individual to help develop our London business on a three-day-per-week basis.
This is a genuine sales and business development position rather than a part-time showroom-cover role.
The Opportunity
We believe there are highly capable people in London who do not necessarily want a conventional five-day working week.
You might already have considerable experience in luxury, hospitality, client relationships or business development and now want a role that allows you to apply that experience within a more flexible working structure.
Equally, you may already have a strong London network and enjoy introducing people, developing relationships and creating commercial opportunities.
The important point is that although the role is part-time, the commercial expectation is not.
You will be expected to actively develop relationships, generate appointments, win clients and build your own portfolio of business.
What You Will Do
Your responsibilities will include:
- Developing your own portfolio of clients
- Generating new appointments and sales opportunities
- Meeting clients in our Landmark London showroom
- Developing relationships with businesses and professionals around London
- Building referral relationships and local partnerships
- Developing opportunities within The Landmark London
- Networking and attending relevant events
- Re-engaging existing and dormant clients
- Identifying corporate opportunities
- Prospecting through LinkedIn, referrals, introductions and direct outreach
- Following up prospective clients
- Converting appointments into sales
- Developing repeat business and referrals
- Maintaining accurate client and prospect records
- Representing Richard George Tailoring professionally in the showroom and externally
Training will be provided in our tailoring process, fabrics, products and approach to client consultation.
Who This Could Suit
We are deliberately looking beyond traditional tailoring candidates.
Relevant experience could include:
- Luxury retail
- Bespoke or made-to-measure tailoring
- Luxury menswear
- Five-star hospitality
- Private members' clubs
- Watches and jewellery
- Premium automotive
- Property
- Recruitment
- Events
- Client relationship management
- Professional services
- Business development
You do not need to arrive with technical tailoring knowledge.
We are looking for someone with the confidence and commercial instinct to develop relationships and create opportunities.
You should be:
- Highly personable
- Polished and professional
- Comfortable with affluent and senior clients
- Commercially aware
- Proactive
- Confident approaching new people
- Comfortable networking
- Disciplined with follow-up
- Self-motivated
- Well organised
- Resilient
- Capable of working independently
- Interested in building your own portfolio of clients
- Comfortable representing a luxury business
An existing network can be valuable, but we are more interested in your ability to build one.
What Success Looks Like
This is not a position where success is measured by simply being present in the showroom.
We will look for:
- New appointments generated
- New clients acquired
- Revenue generated
- Repeat business
- Referral relationships created
- Partnerships developed
- Consistent prospecting and follow-up
- Growth of your own client portfolio
Our sales approach is consultative and relationship-led. We want clients who return to Richard George Tailoring over many years.
What We Offer
- £24,000–£27,000 basic salary for three days per week, depending on experience
- Uncapped commission
- Meaningful earning potential based on the business you generate
- Prestigious working environment at The Landmark London
- Considerable autonomy
- Direct involvement with the founder
- Training in tailoring, fabrics and wardrobe consultation
- Tailored wardrobe allowance
- Employee discount
- Company pension
- Opportunity to develop your own portfolio of high-value clients
- Scope for the role to develop as the London business grows
Working Pattern
The position is based around three days per week.
Some flexibility will be required because client appointments, networking opportunities and events do not always fall neatly within standard working hours.
We are interested in finding the right person and can discuss the most appropriate working pattern during the recruitment process.
Work location: In person at The Landmark London, Marylebone, NW1 6JQ, client locations across London and remote working where appropriate.
Please note applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Proof of eligibility to work in the UK will be required before employment commences.
Applying
When applying, please include send a short video (no more than three minutes in duration) along with your CV including a short explanation of why you believe your background would translate well into a proactive, relationship-led sales role.
We are particularly interested in hearing examples of how you have previously created business, developed a network, won new clients or turned relationships into commercial opportunities.
Please send this video to [email protected] via https://wetransfer.com within three days of applying for this role. We look forward to receiving your video, although please be advised, as we anticipate a large number of applicants for this role, should we not reply to your video application within one week of receipt, we would advise unfortunately on this occasion that you have not been successful.
