We're seeking a Sales Assistant with industry experience to join our fast-paced, collaborative sales team. This role is ideal for someone who understands the inner workings of private label or wholesale apparel, thrives in a deadline-driven environment, and wants to make a direct impact on the sales lifecycle—from development to delivery.

What You’ll Do

You’ll support key account sales across categories, acting as a liaison between internal teams and retail partners. Your role ensures product timelines, accuracy, and client satisfaction are consistently achieved.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist Sales and Product Development teams in executing seasonal strategies and growth targets
• Manage and grow relationships with key accounts; support day-to-day communication with buyers and merchandisers
• Track and manage sample requests, shipments, and approvals with overseas factories
• Prepare sales tools: buy sheets, cost sheets, sales decks, and post-showroom recaps
• Enter and follow up on sales orders, POs, and EDI updates; proactively flag and resolve issues
• Collaborate with design, tech, and production to meet client expectations and ensure timely delivery
• Monitor production calendars and development timelines to ensure on-time shipment
• Organize sales data and prepare reports that support planning and decision-making
• Maintain internal systems with accurate style and attribute details (Excel, Klink, PLM)

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5 years of experience in the apparel industry, preferably in private label or wholesale
• Familiarity with retail math, costing, and sales order workflows
• Bachelor’s degree preferred
• Strong communication skills — both written and verbal
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deadlines
• Proficiency in Excel; PLM (OnePLM/FlexPLM), VSR, and Klink experience is a plus
• Self-starter who works well independently and within cross-functional teams

Why Join Us?

• Work with leading retail partners and gain hands-on exposure across the full product lifecycle
• Be part of a close-knit, fast-moving team that values initiative, collaboration, and accountability
• Contribute to a company that combines creative innovation with technical excellence
