About Sweed Beauty
Sweed is a Swedish prestige beauty brand with a fast-growing international footprint. We work with leading retailers and distributors across Europe, the US and beyond, from Douglas and Nordstrom to Lyko and Beauty Salons. We build the brand with quality products, strong partnerships and commercial discipline.
We are now strengthening our B2B team with a senior commercial hire who can own accounts end-to-end, operate with a high degree of autonomy, and help shape the way we work as we scale.
The Role
This is a senior commercial ownership role. You are responsible for driving profitable growth across a portfolio of key retail and distributor accounts, with full accountability for planning, execution and results.
You operate at the intersection of commercial strategy and day-to-day execution. You know when to push, when to partner, and how to build trust. You report directly to the COO and contribute to decisions that shape Sweed Beauty’s international direction.
This is not a relationship-maintenance role. You own the agenda.
