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, Lacoste ) across Europe.

Operational for 8 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
