The brand is sold through its own channels and a selected base of premium men's fashion retailers across Europe.

We are now expanding the wholesale business in Germany and Austriaand are looking for a Senior Account Manager to lead it.

This is a senior role for someone who already has the network. We are looking for a candidate who can open the right doors from day one and who is genuinely happy to spend time on the road with their accounts.

• Own the WAHTS wholesale business in Germany and Austria: turnover, sell-through and profitability
• Build and develop the door base, from premium independents to department stores, and open new accounts that fit the brand

• Represent WAHTS at trade fairs and in the market

What you bring

• A strong, active network in premium fashion retail in Germany & Austria. This is the first requirement, not a nice to have
• Genuine willingness to travel. The territory is covered on the road, with regular trade fair and showroom weeks on top
• Five years or more in wholesale or account management in premium apparel, ideally menswear, at a level where you carried your own market
• A commercial, numbers-driven approach: you are comfortable working with sell-through, margin and order book data
• The credibility to sell a premium brand on product and positioning, not on discount
• German at native level and fluent English
• Driving license

What we offer

• The chance to build a brand in a market with real ownership and short decision lines
• A premium product with a clear identity and international retail credibility
• Competitive salary with performance-related bonus, company car or car allowance
