About Us

Rooted in over 144 years of Italian craftsmanship, our brand draws on the rich heritage of Schedoni, renowned for its artisanal leatherwork for Italian supercars. Today, we are building something new - Schedoni Modena , a luxury leather goods brand that combines the legacy of Schedoni with modern design, innovation, and e-commerce agility. Our aim is to redefine what heritage craftsmanship looks like in today’s world, creating a fresh and elevated experience for a new generation of luxury consumers.

The Role

We are looking for a driven, strategic, and entrepreneurial Head of Sales to help shape and execute our commercial growth strategy across all sales channels - both online and offline - over the next 12 months and beyond. While we see value in select retail partnerships, our primary focus is direct-to-consumer (DTC), especially through digital platforms and innovative experiences that resonate with today’s luxury audience.

You will work closely with the founders and senior team to build a well-rounded go-to-market plan, manage multi-channel sales performance, and lead the development of our annual sales budget and forecasting. This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage luxury brand with deep roots and complete creative freedom to help define what modern craftsmanship looks like.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute a 12-month sales strategy encompassing direct-to-consumer (particularly e-commerce), select retail, wholesale, and other emerging channels.
• Take ownership of annual sales budget planning, forecasting, and alignment with broader commercial goals.
• Identify and pursue new sales opportunities across markets and channels, including partnerships and brand collaborations.
• Lead the planning and execution of product launches, promotional campaigns, and market activations.
• Collaborate with the founding team to refine brand positioning and customer acquisition strategies.
• Build and improve internal processes to support scalable, sustainable sales growth.
• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) and adjust tactics based on data and insight.
• Serve as a brand ambassador, ensuring that all commercial activities uphold our commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and luxury.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in luxury goods (such as leather goods, fashion accessories, or adjacent sectors), with a clear understanding of both digital and retail sales environments.
• A proven track record of driving sales growth and shaping brand presence across multiple channels.
• Strong commercial and financial planning skills, including sales budgeting and forecasting.
• A start-up mindset - adaptable, resourceful, proactive, and unafraid of ambiguity.
• Deep understanding of luxury consumers and how to engage them across online and offline touchpoints.
• Strategic thinking combined with hands-on execution ability.
• Excellent communication and project management skills.
• A genuine passion for heritage, quality, and storytelling.
• Flexible working : Hours designed to fit around your lifestyle.
• Remote-first : With occasional in-person meetings or events.
• Influential role : Help shape the commercial direction of a modern luxury brand.
• Creative freedom : We encourage experimentation, fresh thinking, and bold ideas.
