Beauty Commercial & Sales Executive Search

Norman Consultants recruits commercial leaders for beauty and personal care brands — the Chief Commercial Officers, VPs of Sales, and channel heads who drive revenue across every route to market.

The mandate

The beauty commercial mandate

Commercial leadership is where a beauty brand's growth is won or lost. It spans retail and wholesale relationships, distributor and international networks, DTC and marketplace performance, and the trade and pricing strategy that protects margin. The best commercial leaders are part dealmaker, part operator, and entirely accountable for the top line.

We recruit Chief Commercial Officers, VPs of Sales, and channel leaders for brands scaling their retail footprint, building wholesale, or balancing a fast-growing DTC business with bricks-and-mortar.

What we look for

The profile that delivers

  • Ownership of beauty revenue across the relevant channels
