Description du poste

Haddad Brands Europe, founded in 2017, specializes in the distribution of children's apparel under exclusive licenses (Nike, Levi’s, Converse, Jordan, Lacost, Polo Ralph Lauren…) across Europe. Operational for 8 years, the company has experienced rapid growth and now has over 500 employees across Europe. We distribute our products through both wholesale—working with major specialty and multi-brand retailers—and retail, via our concessions in department stores. In practical terms, this means that if you’re buying children’s apparel (ages 0–7 for Nike, 0–16 for Levi’s, Converse, and Jordan), whether in a physical store or online, in the Netherlands, the UK, Italy, or anywhere else in Europe, the product you’re holding has definitely passed through us — even if you bought it in an official Nike or Levi’s store!
