Jobbeschreibung

A prestigious international luxury brand is seeking a Wholesale Area Manager EMEA to drive sales growth and elevate wholesale distribution across the region. This is a key role within a strategic shift: while the retail business is growing, wholesale remains essential to expand presence in markets without direct retail.

Activities:

• Expand and optimize the EMEA wholesale network, focusing on top-tier department stores, luxury multibrand boutiques, and key franchise partners.
• Strengthen relationships with leading buyers (e.g. Harrods, Le Bon Marché, Selfridges, Dubai, Istanbul, Middle East).
• Ensure balanced development across menswear, womenswear, footwear and leather goods.
• Lead seasonal showroom campaigns and international market visits.
• Streamline and professionalize the wholesale network, consolidating partnerships in line with brand positioning.

Requirements:

• Solid experience (5+ years) in luxury fashion wholesale, ideally covering apparel, accessories, footwear and leather goods.
• Strong network with EMEA’s key luxury wholesale players.
• Proven track record in sales growth, strategic account management, and financial planning.
• Hands-on profile: structured, operational, and results-driven.
• Fluent in English and Italian; French or other European languages are a plus.
• Willingness to travel extensively (30–35%).

What is offered:

• Full benefits package.
• Hybrid working (1 day per week).
• International, inclusive and dynamic environment.
• Opportunity to play a key role in a multi-year strategic project to build and elevate the EMEA wholesale network.

Place to work: Area of Mendrisio / Canton Ticino (Switzerland) – with frequent international travel (30–35%)
