Description du poste

Our client, Raghavendra Rathore Jodhpur, is a prestigious Indian luxury brand that artfully blends royal heritage, traditional craftsmanship, and modern sophistication in perfect bespoke menswear for their distinguished clients. As part of its global expansion strategy, we are looking for a seasoned and passionate Head of Sourcing to strengthen its European influences, brand presence, and sourcing expertise and to shape the brand’s future success.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this newly established position is ideal for an experienced sourcing professional with deep knowledge of high-end menswear and a strong track record of driving sourcing excellence.

This role is critical in executing the brand’s strategy: in the short term, to upsell to Indian clients who increasingly demand international luxury standards, and in the medium to long term, to build a solid foundation for global market expansion.

Based in France, the United Kingdom or Italy, you will be expected to travel regularly to the headquarters in India for alignment and collection meetings linked to key timelines and deliverables.

Key responsibilities include establishing a global sourcing platform aligned with the brand’s values, leading end-to-end sourcing for fabrics, trims, and accessories, and building strong partnerships with both domestic and international suppliers. As Head of Sourcing, you will collaborate with design, product development, and production teams to ensure coherence between the creative vision and sourcing strategies. You will focus on innovation and sustainability, manage garment costing, optimize supplier performance, and help transition the brand toward semi-casual wear that fuses Indian and European influences.

Ideal candidates will have 6–8 years of experience in luxury menswear sourcing, a comprehensive understanding of product lifecycles, garment construction, and costing methodologies. You should have a solid network of trusted suppliers, be familiar with sustainable materials and fashion technologies, and be skilled in negotiation and communication. Fluency in English is essential, as is a self-motivated, solution-oriented mindset and the ability to work independently.
