A Visionary and Strategic Commercial Leader

We are seeking an ambitious and commercially driven candidate with a strong track record in wholesale and retail management. Your deep understanding of international markets, strategic mindset, and ability to build strong relationships position you as a key driver of brand growth and commercial success. Additionally, you excel in negotiation, communication, and stakeholder management, using data-driven insights to guide business decisions.

It is essential that you thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. While experience in fine jewellery is preferred, a strong background in the luxury industry and an extensive network within the sector are highly valued.

Driven by Purpose and Commercial Expertise

Beyond your professional expertise, you are a proactive and results-driven leader with a strong commercial acumen. You combine a talent for storytelling with a keen ability to sell, using your strategic mindset to navigate complex market dynamics. Your approach is both data-driven and intuitive, allowing you to balance analytical insights with creative vision.

As Head of International Business Development, you are deeply committed to sustainability and embrace a purpose-driven mindset, viewing business as a force for positive change.
