Country Head USA (m/f)

Hello, We’re FOND OF!

In 2010 we started out as a backpack start-up in Cologne, Germany. Today, we carry 8 brands and see ourselves as a platform for personal growth, development of potentials and progression – may it be in services, products or people.

We are now looking to expand to the US market and are in search of a country head who can build up distribution, sales, marketing and the team that goes with it.

ARE YOU FOND OF …

• ENTREPRENEURSHIP? As country head of the US, you are working as a start-up with the benefit of a strong mother company in the background. You thrive on operational work as well as strategic thinking. Collecting and combining information you need from different people, be it for an unfamiliar topic or not – and turning it into results – is your area of expertise.
• TEAM LEADERSHIP AND NETWORKING? You inspire and motivate people. You can recruit, lead and evolve a team. You put together an effective team and create an enabling and successful company culture. Building social ties and actively expanding your network is essential to you.
• SALES? You love selling products with passion, whether you are directly speaking with retailers or our sales agencies. You understand the importance of long-term relationships in business and want to grow your company based on strong partnerships.
• DISTRIBUTION? You are responsible for organization and controlling the global flow of our products – from procurement to delivery.
• BRAND MANAGEMENT? You develop the brand and communication strategy for the US and define the marketing mix in coordination with our different brand teams in Cologne.

If you recognize yourself in the above, then we’re already FOND OF YOU.

IF, FOR GOOD MEASURE, you’ve got

• 3-5 years previous work experience in start-ups, business development or consulting, ideally in consumer and retail brands
• experience in developing sales and distribution channels
• experience in the US market, ideally the retail sector
• assertiveness as well as strong negotiating skills
• an independent and structured working style
• strong communication skills and love to win people over

... then we would like to hear from you.
