Role Overview

ABASK is seeking a highly commercial, entrepreneurial Client Sales Manager to lead and accelerate the growth of our B2C business from our London HQ. This is a senior, sales-driving role: you will own and drive revenue, manage and mentor a growing customer-facing team, and play a pivotal role in establishing ABASK’s global private client base. While B2C is the core focus, you will flex into B2B where required—supporting high-value Trade clients, projects, and key commercial opportunities when needed. You will operate in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, requiring adaptability, strategic thinking, and a hands-on approach. This role will also support the potential launch and management of physical retail/showroom spaces in the UK, and require travel to the key ABASK customer hubs when needed.
