Yepoda • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

As Yepoda prepares to launch with Sephora in the United States, we are looking for a National Account Manager, Sephora US to lead our strategic partnership with Sephora US and help drive our retail growth in this exciting new market.

Requirements

• 5 to 7 years experience in national account management, key account management, trade marketing, or retail partnerships within beauty, skincare, or consumer brands
• Direct experience working with Sephora US, ideally including a brand launch or new brand entry within the last 3 years
• Experience from a scaling, challenger, or emerging brand where you have built processes, playbooks, or ways of working from scratch rather than inherited them
• Genuinely hands on. Comfortable being deep in the detail across sell out data, door level execution, promotional planning, and forecasting, not sitting above it
• Strong commercial and analytical mindset with a clear point of view on how to grow a Sephora account through both sell in and sell out levers
• Experience working cross functionally with marketing, category, supply chain, and finance teams
• Excellent communication and relationship building skills, with the confidence to challenge Sephora stakeholders and push initiatives forward
• Comfortable operating solo on the ground and building trust remotely with a HQ team across time zones
• Must be based in the United States and authorised to work in the country without current or future visa sponsorship

Responsibilities

• Build and own the day to day relationship with Sephora US, serving as the main point of contact across commercial, category, marketing, and operational discussions
• Lead the Sephora US launch execution end to end, including assortment planning, launch calendars, promotional plans, and in store activation
• Drive strong sell out performance by living in the data, diagnosing at door level, and building fast action plans with Sephora
• Own the operational rhythm of the account: sell in and sell through analysis, forecasting, inventory planning, and business reviews
• Build the playbook. Yepoda does not yet have a US retail operating model and you will define how we plan, execute, and report on this account
• Partner closely with our Berlin based teams across marketing, supply chain, finance, and product to ensure smooth launches and campaigns
• Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and category developments to identify growth opportunities in the US market
• Represent Yepoda as our first commercial presence on the ground in the US
