Haddad Brands Europe
Haddad Brands Europe, founded in 2017, specializes in the distribution of children’s apparel under exclusive licenses (Nike, Levi’s, Converse, Jordan, Lacoste…) across Europe. Operational for 9 years, the company has experienced remarkable growth and now counts over 500 employees throughout Europe.
We distribute our products both through wholesale, working with major multi-brand and specialized retailers, and through retail, via our corners in leading department stores. In concrete terms, this means that if you purchase children’s apparel (0–7 years for Nike, 0–16 years for Levi’s, Converse, and Jordan), whether in a physical store, online, in the Netherlands, the UK, Italy, or anywhere else in Europe, the product you’re holding has gone through us — even if you bought it in an official Nike or Levi’s store!
We are currently looking for a Category Sales Manager.
OBJECTIVE:
Be the Category sales lead for Accessories, working cross-functionally to bring consumer right product to market in an impactful way and drive growth in EMEA.
