Maria Nila is growing internationally, and we're looking for an entrepreneurial, world-curious Business Developer to help us take our professional haircare brand into new and existing markets.
This role is for someone who thrives on momentum — someone who likes opening new countries, finding the right distributors, building partnerships that last, and turning international ambition into real, measurable growth.

Business development & sales. Identify, prospect and develop new international clients, distributors and strategic partners. Own the full sales cycle — from the first conversation through negotiation to a signed contract.
Cross-functional collaboration. Work closely with our marketing, supply chain and education teams. Coordinate the logistics, customs and contractual side of export operations. Represent Maria Nila at international trade fairs, exhibitions and industry events.
What you bring
2–3+ years driving sales on a national or export market
A real team-player mindset and a KPI-driven approach to performance
Global perspective, natural curiosity, and a solution-oriented attitude
Full professional proficiency in English
Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust across teams
Comfort working with the Microsoft suite
Alignment with our values: Act Friendly. Be Ambitious. Take Ownership.
Bonus points for:
Experience working with international markets
A background in beauty and sensorial sales
Experience both in-house and on the distribution side
How success looks
Sales performance against KPIs, the strength and longevity of the partnerships you build, and the spirit you bring into the team every day.
