About The Position

Bleach London was born out of creativity, bold thinking and a disruptive spirit, growing from a rebellious East London salon into an international brand stocked in major retailers across the world, including Boots, Superdrug, ASOS, Walmart, CVS and Kruidvat. As we continue to expand globally, so is our ambitious, strategic, commercially savvy sales team. That’s where you come in.

This is your opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our UK and EU sales business, bringing your experience, ideas and results oriented mindset to a brand with edge and purpose. You’ll get variety, visibility and a tonne of scope to grow and develop.

Bleach London is the brainchild of renowned fashion hairstylist Alex Brownsell, who pioneered the twenty-first-century home hair colour revolution. She turned bleaching and dyeing friends' hair at home into the world’s first salon focused on colouring rather than cutting. Ten years, four locations and a ground-breaking product range later, Bleach London now ships an ever-evolving selection of home bleaches, toners, colour and care products all over the world.

All formulas are vegan and cruelty-free and come with expert instructions that allow consumers to bleach and dye like a professional in no time.

The company is a leading hair care provider, and is sold in retailers including Boots, Superdrug, The Hut Group, ASOS and Amazon, as well as Walmart, CVS and Kroger in the US.
