Area Sales & Education Manager, Jo Malone London, UK&I
What is your title and how long have you been with The Estée Lauder Companies?
I am the Area Sales & Education Manager for Jo Malone London, covering a broad territory across the North, including cities such as Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham. I joined The Estée Lauder Companies in September 2025 and have been fortunate to work across some incredible brands during my time here.
What inspired you to work for ELC?
For me, it's the strength and individuality of our brands. Each one has its own identity, heritage and way of connecting with consumers, yet together, they create something really special. ELC is also a place where you can constantly learn, develop and grow.
How would you describe your current job to someone outside the beauty industry?
I'd describe myself as a coach, business partner and brand ambassador all rolled into one. My role is all about supporting our people, growing the business, delivering education and building meaningful relationships with our retail partners. Every day looks a little different, which is exactly what keeps the role so exciting.
What excites you about coming to work every day?
What excites me most is the opportunity to work with people. Whether that's supporting someone's development, helping a store achieve a goal, or creating memorable moments for customers, every day brings a chance to make a positive impact. I also love that fragrance is such a personal form of self-expression and storytelling, making every interaction unique.
How would you describe the culture at The Estée Lauder Companies to your friends and family?
I would describe ELC as a place full of opportunity. We have some of the best brands in the industry, and it's a business where people are encouraged to learn, grow and challenge themselves, while still feeling supported by those around them. There is a real sense of collaboration and pride in what we do.
What's your favourite ELC product?
My fragrance of choice has to be Myrrh & Tonka Cologne Intense from Jo Malone London. It's the fragrance I'm most often asked about when I wear it. A non-negotiable in my bag is also The Lip Balm from La Mer. It comes everywhere with me and is one of those products I wouldn't be without.
