Sales Manager

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

Operational for 8 years, the company has experienced rapid growth and now has over **500 employees across Europe.**

We distribute our products through both **wholesale**—working with major specialty and multi-brand retailers—and **retail**, via our concessions in department stores.

In practical terms, this means that if you’re buying children’s apparel (ages 0-7 for Nike, 0-16 for Levi’s, Converse, and Jordan), whether in a physical store or online, in the Netherlands, the UK, Italy, or anywhere else in Europe, **the product you’re holding has definitely passed through us** — even if you bought it in an official Nike or Levi’s store

To support our growth, we are offering a permanent position as a **Sales Manager.**
