information about the position

For someone who loves specialty retail, this is a special opportunity to represent the Brighton brand while building lasting partnerships with some of Southern California's most beautiful and successful boutiques.
Brighton Collectibles is seeking a relationship-driven Territory Account Executive to represent our brand and partner with specialty retailers across Southern California. This territory spans Santa Monica to Santa Barbara and Pasadena to Santa Clarita, with the ideal candidate based in the North Los Angeles area.


A unique advantage of this territory is that Brighton's Home Office is located within it, giving the Account Executive exceptional access to company leadership, designers, product resources, and training - making support and collaboration easily accessible as they help their retailers grow their businesses. This is an opportunity for an entrepreneurial sales professional who enjoys building strong partnerships and taking pride in growing a thriving territory.


The Role


Brighton Account Executives are more than sales representatives - they are trusted advisors to the specialty retailers they serve. Through regular store visits, product knowledge, merchandising guidance, and meaningful relationships, our Account Executives help retailers build successful Brighton businesses while bringing the brand to life for their customers.
Our most successful Account Executives are those who enjoy working side by side with retailers-studying their business, training their teams, and helping them build strong sell-through-rather than simply taking orders.


Key Responsibilities

• Visit stores routinely on a 30-60-90 cycle to review business performance and support retail success
• Provide product knowledge and sales training to store staff

• Support in-store events that engage customers and build excitement around the Brighton brand
• Offer visual merchandising guidance to ensure beautiful product presentation
• Identify and open new high-quality specialty retail accounts within the territory
• Serve as the local ambassador for the Brighton brand


Territory & Travel


This territory includes Santa Monica, Malibu, Santa Barbara, Pasadena, Glendale, and Santa Clarita, with regular travel throughout the region to visit specialty retail partners. The role involves frequent in-store visits, allowing the Account Executive to stay closely connected with retailers, their teams, and the customers who love the Brighton brand.
Some overnight travel is expected depending on where the candidate lives within the territory, typically approximately 3-5 nights per month.


What Makes a Great Brighton Account Executive

• A natural ability to build authentic, long-term relationships
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• An appreciation for fashion, accessories, and beautiful product
• A strong sense of organization and personal accountability
