About B. Futurist B.V.

B Futurist moves beauty products from markets that have too much to markets that need them, across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas. Around 70 people, 33 nationalities, profitable, and growing fast. We’re at the interesting part of the climb: turning

quick wins

into long-term retail relationships.

We are founder-led, direct, and intentionally unbureaucratic. No politics, no unnecessary layers, just ownership and execution.

About Wholesale

This team moves fast, deals close, markets shift, and you shift with them. You'll own a designated region, getting sharp at spotting where it has too much of something and where someone else can't get enough. Traders here are hungry and competitive enough to chase an edge, but quick to back each other up when a deal gets messy. From day one, the deals are yours — your calls, your negotiations, your wins. If you're into momentum, real ownership, and closing deals across borders instead of waiting on someone else's process, you'll fit right in here.

Your Role

As US Brands Lead, you will be responsible for building B Futurist's US beauty portfolio from the ground up, identifying the right indie and niche brands, approaching them directly, and securing official European distribution rights on behalf of the company.

The market opportunity is substantial. The majority of US indie beauty brands have established a presence in the UK and through their own e-commerce channels, but have limited reach into Continental European offline retail, a market that is fragmented, heavily regulated and built on long-standing trade relationships. Few of these brands are represented by a credible distribution partner on the ground. B Futurist brings the compliance infrastructure, the retail network and the operational capability to change that.

In this role, you will own the full commercial process from initial approach through to placement on shelf with retail chains across Western and Eastern Europe, including the pitch, the negotiation and the terms of the distribution agreement.

What you bring

• Minimum 3 years in a commercial role selling into major European offline retail, with a proven track record of securing listings, ideally in beauty and cosmetics.
• An active network of European retail buyer contacts that you can approach directly.
• Experience negotiating distribution, supplier or listing agreements independently, including commercial terms.
• Commercial judgement and the confidence to own a category without close supervision.
• Fluent English. A second European language is an advantage.
• Willingness to travel internationally on a regular basis.

What you get

• Full ownership of a new category, built from the first brand onward.
• A performance bonus above market level, with no upper limit.
• 25 days of annual leave, plus your birthday off.
• An above-market learning and development budget.
• Pension fully paid by the employer.
• Subsidised warm lunch at the office.
• Subsidised Urban Sports Club membership.
• Travel allowance.
• Weekly Friday drinks.
