This is a fast growing sportswear brand operating at the intersection of performance and lifestyle. Built on a clear product identity and a loyal, growing customer base, the business has scaled quickly across both DTC and wholesale channels. With continued investment in its wholesale division and a new senior hire joining to lead the function, the brand is entering a new phase of commercial growth and this role sits right at the heart of it.
Wholesale is a key pillar of the growth strategy. The brand works with some of the most recognisable names in UK sports and streetwear retail, as well as a growing network of European distribution partners. The team is evolving to match the ambition, and there is a genuine opportunity for the right person to come in, take ownership, and grow with the business.
