Regional Manager, Based out of Seattle

COMPANY:  ETCETERA

POSITION:  Regional Manager

JOB FUNCTION:  Recruiting; Business Development; Management

Etcetera Regional Managers work directly with the President of Etcetera to ensure strategic growth of the twelve Etcetera regions. Each must be a proven leader in the business and/or volunteer communities and an achievement-oriented self-starter who has extensive social and professional connections in the region.

Each Regional Manager is responsible for building the Etcetera presence in her region to levels defined by Etcetera, based on market research. To achieve these goals, the Regional Manager will create and lead a strong team of Area Development Managers, who, in turn, will establish and support qualified Sales Consultants in all viable markets in their areas.  These Sales Consultants, who present four Etcetera collections each year through seasonal trunk shows, are the selling and service link between each Etcetera collection and the wide range of customers who wear it.

A Regional Manager is the key to success in her region. Her tenacity and skills as networker, recruiter, trainer, communicator and leader will determine the market range and strength of her ADM team. Her mastery in transferring these skills to her team will directly affect their success in recruiting and training a dynamic, motivated Sales Consultant corps—thus affecting bottom line sales and achievement of regional goals.

Specific responsibilities of Regional Managers include, but are not limited to:

• ADM recruitment and training.
• Increased sales performance in the region.
• Goal setting and tracking.
• Seasonal Previews in the region.
• Administrative and operational duties.
• Achievement of regional goals for each six-month season.

The role of Regional Manager is one of prestige and responsibility, with commensurate compensation; however, as an independent contractor, she also enjoys the flexibility and freedom of working from a home office on her own schedule. The Etcetera executive team provides both initial training and ongoing support that ensures each RM is well prepared to lead her region.

We are currently hiring Regional Managers in three expanding markets including:  Seattle/Portland/Phoenix, Southern California and Philadelphia. However, we also welcome inquiries from women in any area of the country who feel Etcetera might be a fit for them.

ETCETERA is based in New York City, with representatives showing collections in 660 cities and upscale suburbs nationwide. In 2007, Money Magazine named Etcetera in the article: “Best Jobs in America” as one top five Sales Representative Jobs, scoring “A” for Flexibility, “A-”for Family-Friendly, and high marks for compensation and job growth.
