Development Director, Europe
A well-established, internationally recognised American consumer brand is entering a major period of growth across Europe. With deep roots in its home market and a fast-scaling presence across Asia, the business is now turning its focus to building out its network of business partners in key European markets.
I'm partnering with them to find a Development Director, Europe to help shape and lead this expansion. This is a senior, deal-led role central to identifying strong growth partners, evaluating new markets, and guiding the company's long-term development strategy across the region. You'll represent the brand across Europe, build relationships with experienced, well-capitalised operators, and help shape decisions on where and how the business expands.
