Sales Manager in Bruton

About Commune

Born in Somerset, Commune is a design-led self-care brand. Rooted in true community with a focus on natural formulations and true sustainability, each of our products is created to simplify our daily rituals. Every detail — from meticulous, clean ingredient selection to fully recyclable packaging — reflects our commitment to responsible living and timeless beauty.

We partner exclusively with the world’s most prestigious retailers, hospitality venues, and private members’ clubs to bring Commune into spaces that share our values of intentional design, sustainability, and considered luxury. Our partners include Harrods, Liberty, Violet Grey, Mecca, Estelle Manor, and many more.

As a growing company, we’re building something special: an intentional community that believes in the power of Togetherness, a sense of belonging, connection and collaboration.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Sales Manager who will be at the forefront of expanding Commune’s presence globally.

You’ll collaborate across internal teams and travel regularly, making a real impact on how Commune is experienced by retailers and consumers alike. This is a highly collaborative role requiring regular in‑office attendance. Initially, you must be in our Somerset office at least three days per week.

• Willing and able to travel to Somerset for in-person days until the London office is fully operational
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint
• Familiarity with Unleashed or similar sales order and inventory management systems is preferred
