Founding Sales Manager for Consumer / Beauty Startup

Company Description: Piers Laine is a tech-enabled nail care company modernizing a highly fragmented and outdated industry. Today, we partner with 100+ luxury residential buildings and corporate offices in the tristate area to deliver premium in-home and onsite manicures, pedicures, and wellness events, offering a convenient, professional experience that residents and employees love. What sets Piers Laine apart is that we combine thoughtful logistics, improved service quality, and a growing menu of services to deliver a more elevated, convenient, and affordable experience than traditional salons or on-demand providers. Our broader vision is to build the first trusted national brand in nail care, combining on-demand, in-home services with modernized studio locations (think Drybar for nails). This is your chance to join early as our first corporate employee, with a meaningful opportunity for personal growth as the business scales.
