Overview
Haddad Brands Europe, founded in 2017, specializes in the distribution of licensed children’s apparel (Nike, Levi’s, Converse, Jordan, Polo Ralph Lauren…) across Europe. Operational for 7 years, the company has grown and now employs over 500 people across the continent. We distribute our products through wholesale to major specialty or multi-brand retailers and through our concessions in department stores. In practical terms, if you buy children’s clothing (ages 0–7 for Nike, 0–16 for Levi’s, Converse, and Jordan) in the Netherlands, the UK, Italy, or elsewhere in Europe, the product you’re holding has passed through Haddad Brands — even if purchased from an official Nike or Levi’s store.
We are looking for a Marketing Assistant (internship or apprenticeship) to join our team.
