Key Account Manager

Haddad Brands Europe,
founded in 2017, specializes in the distribution of children's apparel under exclusive licenses (Nike, Levi's, Converse, Jordan, Polo Ralph Lauren…) across Europe.

Operational for 7 years, the company has experienced rapid growth and now has over 500 employees throughout Europe.

We distribute our products both through wholesale, working with major specialized and multi-brand retailers, and through retail, via our shop-in-shops within major department stores.

In practical terms, this means that if you buy children's apparel (sizes 0–7 years for Nike, and 0–16 years for Levi's, Converse, and Jordan), whether in a physical store, online, in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy, or anywhere else in Europe, the product you are holding has necessarily passed through us even if you purchase it in an official Nike or Levi's store

we are looking for a Digital Key Account Manager

Zalando and AboutYou.
