Description

About ERG Media ERG Media is an independent publishing and creative studio producing highly crafted books, editorial projects, and cultural objects across automotive, design, architecture, travel, luxury, and lifestyle. Through our publishing imprint and Type 7 platform, we create collectible books and print objects for a global audience, working with leading brands, photographers, designers, cultural institutions, and private archives. Our titles are positioned at the intersection of luxury publishing, design, and storytelling, with distribution across select bookstores, museum shops, concept stores, automotive destinations, hotels, and premium retail environments around the world. As our publishing business continues to grow, we are looking for a senior sales leader with direct experience selling luxury coffee table books and premium illustrated publications into the world’s most relevant retail doors. The Role We are looking for a Senior Sales Director - Luxury Books & Wholesale to help us significantly expand our global retail and wholesale footprint, with a particular focus on the United States. This is not a junior sales role or a traditional account management position. We are looking for someone who already knows the market, understands the world of high-end illustrated publishing, and brings an existing network of buyers, retailers, distributors, museum shops, concept stores, hotel groups, department stores, and specialty book accounts. The ideal candidate has previously sold luxury coffee table books, art books, design books, automotive books, architecture books, or premium illustrated publications at an international level. They understand how to position high-value printed objects, how to open doors quickly, and how to build lasting wholesale relationships that grow over time. This person will work closely with ERG’s leadership team and existing wholesale function to identify, open, and grow the most valuable retail opportunities globally, with an immediate emphasis on the American market. What We’re Looking For 3-5 years of experience in wholesale sales, business development, or commercial leadership within luxury coffee table books, art books, illustrated publishing, design books, museum retail, or premium lifestyle publishing. A proven track record of opening meaningful retail doors, building wholesale pipelines, and growing wholesale revenue. An existing network of relevant contacts across the book, museum, luxury retail, design, hospitality, and specialty retail sectors. Deep understanding of how premium books are bought, merchandised, sold, reordered, and positioned across different retail environments. Strong familiarity with the U.S. book and specialty retail market. Experience selling into museum shops, independent bookstores, concept stores, luxury retail, hotel groups, department stores, and specialty wholesale accounts. Strong written and spoken English. Additional languages are a plus.

Responsibilities

Expand the global retail and wholesale footprint for luxury books, with a primary focus on the United States market. Identify and grow high-value retail opportunities across museum shops, concept stores, and premium retail environments.
