About: Founded in 2012, SOMEWHERE is strategic fashion wholesale agency, specialising in contemporary Scandinavian design. With a showroom in Brixton, South London, we believe relationships are everything and are dedicated to growing and nurturing the designers we work with.

Valuing a long-term strategy over short term goals, we are passionate about our designers; each distinctively different yet sharing similar qualities. Bold, feminine and youthful, with unique detailing that appeals to the modern woman.

Friendly and enthusiastic in our approach, we are proud to work with some of the UK & Ireland's finest department store, web stores and multi-brand independents.

SOMEWHERE is a London-based fashion and lifestyle agency and showroom, founded in 2012.  We work with a curated portfolio of contemporary brands across fashion, accessories and lifestyle, helping them build and grow their presence across the UK and Ireland.

We’re known for having a strong eye — discovering and scaling brands that feel relevant, commercial and a bit different. Our network spans leading department stores, online platforms and some of the best independent retailers in the market.

We’re looking for a Fashion / Lifestyle Account Executive to join the team, focused on road-based, outbound sales across the UK and Ireland, working across a portfolio of lifestyle and accessory brands.

This is not a desk job.

The role of Sales Account Executive :

  • You’ll be out in the market — on the road, in stores, building relationships, opening doors, and driving sales.
  • The product focus is fast-moving, repeat-purchase, and highly visual, so the role is all about energy, consistency, and strong relationships.
  • You’ll be working closely with a wide mix of independents, department stores and online retailers — growing existing accounts while constantly bringing in new ones.

What the Account Executive will be doing most of the time:

  • Visiting stores and building genuine, long-term relationships
  • Opening new accounts and spotting opportunities in the market
  • Driving repeat orders and keeping momentum across your customer base
  • Planning and executing road trips (and actually enjoying being on them)
  • Presenting product in a way that feels natural, confident and commercial
  • Closing orders in person and following through
  • Feeding back what’s working (and what’s not) from the shop floor
  • You’ll also spend time in the showroom during key moments, but this role is very much about being out there, not behind a screen.
  • It’s a hands-on, target-driven role for someone who is proactive, self-motivated, and thrives on being busy, visible, and in the mix.

What Somewhere Agency is looking for:

  • At least 2 years' fashion, accessories or lifestyle wholesale or field sales experience.
  • Proven track record of hitting (and pushing past) targets.
  • Confident selling in person — natural, not scripted.
  • Highly organised — you can plan your own weeks and make things happen.
  • Commercial mindset — you understand what sells and why.
  • Comfortable working at a pace and juggling multiple accounts.
  • Solid IT skills, including Excel, email, and CRM.
  • Full UK driving licence — this role involves regular travel.
