Stock MFG is a design-driven uniform brand focused on modern hospitality. We design, develop, manufacture and distribute uniform programs for restaurants, hotels, and hospitality brands that care deeply about aesthetics, fit, and brand expression -  not commodity workwear.

We’re a mid-seven figure business with a 12-person team, operating with extremely high revenue per employee. We are intentionally lean, service focused, and brand-first. Our next phase of growth requires one thing above all else:

A senior sales operator who can bring in whales.

This is not a junior sales role.

This is not inbound account management.

This is not a “warm leads” job.

This role exists to land large, high-value hospitality programs -  the kind that materially change the business.

You will own new business development for:

• Boutique hotel groups
• Independent hotel management companies
• Multi-unit restaurant groups
• Hospitality-led lifestyle brands
• Casinos, resorts, and destination properties

You will be trusted to operate like a founder in the field -  building relationships, opening doors, shaping programs, and closing six to seven figure uniform deals.

• $1–2M in new revenue within 12–18 months
• Multiple $50K - $250K+ programs per year
• Long-term, repeatable hospitality accounts
• A clean, real pipeline -  not spray-and-pray leads
• Becoming the point person for large hospitality relationships

If you succeed here, you will directly shape the future scale of the company.

• Proactively identify and pursue high-value hospitality targets
• Build relationships with:
• F&B Directors
• GMs
• Directors of Operations
• Hotel ownership / management groups
• Corporate chefs and brand teams
• Lead discovery conversations around brand, scale, rollout plans, and timelines
• Present curated uniform programs (with decks + samples)
• Coordinate with internal production and ops teams to scope programs correctly
• Close deals and shepherd them through first delivery
• Build multi-year relationships that turn into recurring revenue

You are not expected to design garments or manage production -  but you are expected to understand how uniform programs actually work.

This role is for someone who:

• Has 7+ years selling B2B into hospitality or adjacent industries
• Has closed large, complex, relationship-driven deals
• Understands how hotels and restaurant groups actually buy
• Is comfortable prospecting, pitching, and closing without hand-holding
• Knows how to sell programs -  not just SKUs
• Is confident walking into a room with operators and decision-makers
• Has taste, polish, and strong communication instincts
• Wants responsibility, autonomy, and real upside

Backgrounds that work well:

• Hospitality supply / uniform sales (hotels, restaurants)
• Linen, FF&E, or hospitality vendor sales
• Selling services or products into hotel groups or restaurant groups

This role is not for:

• Entry-level or mid-level salespeople
• Inbound-only account managers
• Government / tactical / industrial uniform sellers
• Sellers who are used to nurturing a book of business given to them
• Anyone uncomfortable meeting with top level decision makers

If you’ve spent your career selling commoditized products on price alone, this will not be a fit.

• Strong base salary (commensurate with seniority)
• Aggressive, uncapped commission
• Clear path to mid six-figure earnings with strong performance
• Real influence on the business as it scales

• Small, fast-growing, founder-led company
• Premium product with clear differentiation
• No internal politics, no bureaucracy
• High trust, high autonomy
• Your wins directly affect the trajectory of the business
• Opportunity to build something -  not just hit quota

This is a chance to be the person who helps take a $5M brand to $20M -  and to be compensated for it.

If you’re reading this and thinking “this is exactly me”, we want to hear from you.

Send:

• A resume or LinkedIn profile
• A brief note explaining why you think you can win in this role

We value clarity, confidence, and substance over buzzwords.
