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.
