About the Role

Sparkle Cosmetics is looking for a driven, self-motivated Area Manager to lead territory growth and brand presence across Johannesburg South, East and North.

While maintaining and supporting existing clients is part of the role, the primary focus is new business development. The successful candidate will be expected to proactively identify opportunities, open new salon, spa, and retail accounts, and convert leads into long-term clients. This is not a traditional sales rep role - Area Managers act as brand ambassadors, in-store education support specialists, and are responsible for launching new products and systems in the field.

This is a high-impact position, and hiring will be based on your ability to open new doors and grow the territory with confidence, professionalism and consistency.
