About NK Cosmetics Manufacturers

NK Cosmetics Manufacturers is a Mississauga-based manufacturer of cosmetic products. We formulate in-house and also manufacture to our customers' own formulas, so brands can work with us on private label, contract manufacturing, or both. We specialize in small-batch production and can scale to larger orders when a customer needs it. We are a small, hands-on team, and the person who joins us will directly shape which customers we grow with.

The role

We are looking for an entrepreneurial sales professional to bring new brand customers to NK. You will own the sales cycle from first conversation to signed purchase order, and then grow those accounts over time. You will report directly to the owner. This is a hunter role for someone who wants to build a book of business and be rewarded for it.

What you will do

- Identify and win new customers: emerging and established beauty brands, salons and spas developing their own lines, and creators and entrepreneurs launching products
- Explain our two ways of working, private label (our formulas) and contract manufacturing (your formula), and match each prospect to the right one
- Run discovery calls, coordinate samples, prepare quotes and negotiate through to first order




- Work with the owner and production team to confirm feasibility, pricing, minimum quantities and lead times before committing to customers
- Build and maintain your pipeline in our CRM and review it with the owner weekly
- Represent NK at industry events and in the GTA beauty community
- Grow existing accounts through repeat orders, new products and referrals
- Bring us direct market feedback on what brands are asking for

What you bring
- [3+] years of B2B sales experience in cosmetics, personal care, or a closely related supplier category such as contract or private-label manufacturing, packaging, ingredients or fulfillment
- A track record of winning new accounts, with examples you can describe in numbers
- An existing network of beauty brand owners, product developers or buyers in the GTA
- Comfort with a longer sales cycle and with commission-based earnings
- Working knowledge of how cosmetics are made and sold in Canada: formulation basics, minimum order quantities, lead times, labelling, and Health Canada's cosmetic notification requirement
- Explicit, credible communication with both first-time founders and experienced buyers
- Ability to travel around the GTA for customer meetings

Nice to have
- Experience selling for a manufacturer of similar size
- Background in formulation, chemistry or product development
- Familiarity with e-commerce brand launches

What we offer
- Base salary plus commission on new-customer revenue
- Direct access to the owner and real influence on how we sell

Pay: $75,000.00-$120,000.00 per year
