Director Farfetch Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Location: New York, NY (international travel ~30–40%)

Type: Full-time, Permanent

Compensation: $225,000–$275,000 base + performance bonus

Manière De Voir is a founder-built, premium contemporary fashion brand that has grown to £50M+ in revenue—profitable since inception, with zero external funding. What started as a direct-to-consumer business has expanded into a genuine multi-channel operation: four flagship stores across three continents, a global e-commerce platform, and wholesale partnerships with Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Farfetch, and Ounass. The brand is headquartered at 155 Fifth Avenue, New York.

The brand is now at an inflection point. The infrastructure is in place—product, supply chain, e-commerce, and creative are all functioning—but the retail and wholesale channels have been founder-led to this point. This hire is about bringing in a dedicated commercial leader to professionalize and scale those channels without losing what makes the brand selective.

We are deliberate about where and how we show up. Every door, every wholesale partner, and every location must reinforce the brand. This is not a volume play—it is a considered, high-impact distribution strategy.

About the Role

You will own the strategy, growth, and full P&L for our direct retail footprint (four stores, expanding to five) and global wholesale business (Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Farfetch, Ounass, and future partners). Both channels have been built by the Founder. They work—but they have been run on instinct, not infrastructure. Your job is to bring the rigor: the planning cycles, the partner frameworks, the site selection discipline, and the team to execute it.

The harder part of this role is not growth—it is restraint. We receive more inbound interest from wholesale partners and retail landlords than we pursue. You will need to evaluate every opportunity against what the brand stands for and be willing to walk away from revenue that does not fit. The right candidate will find that energizing, not limiting.

This is not a corporate role inside a large group. There are no layers between you and the Founder. You will have a direct line to the person who built the brand, genuine decision-making authority, and the autonomy to shape the retail and wholesale strategy from the ground up.

You are not joining a start-up that needs to prove product-market fit. The business has momentum, the channels exist, and the opportunity is to take what has been built and professionalize it at scale.

If you have spent your career inside larger houses and want to own something—not manage a slice of it—this is that role.

Key Responsibilities

Retail — Own Channels

• Own the full retail P&L across the existing fleet and all new doors: revenue, four-wall profitability, sell-through, inventory productivity, payroll, and CX.
• Define and execute the global retail expansion roadmap. Identify prime locations for flagships, concessions, and pop-ups across North America, EMEA, and APAC—quality of location over quantity of doors.
• Lead site selection, lease negotiation, and landlord relationships. Every new door must sit in an environment that reinforces where the brand is going, not just where it is today.
• Work with Store Operations, Visual Merchandising, and People to ensure consistent brand experience and commercial performance across all locations.

Wholesale — Selective Global Channels

• Manage and deepen relationships with existing partners (Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Farfetch, Ounass) while identifying new accounts that genuinely elevate the brand’s positioning.
• Apply strict partner criteria globally. Decline opportunities that would compromise brand perception—regardless of the revenue they represent.
