Existing relationships with key distributors, department stores and luxury retail groups
Proven track record of delivering commercial growth across multiple Middle East markets
Strong understanding of distributor management, forecasting and P&L ownership

This is a rare opportunity to represent a fast-growing luxury fragrance and skincare brand at a time of significant regional investment. You will have real ownership of the Middle East market, working closely with senior leadership to shape the brand's long-term commercial footprint.

If you are a well-connected luxury beauty professional with a passion for fragrance and skincare, and a deep understanding of the Middle East market, we would love to hear from you.
