    Wholesale/Partnerships Director UK&I

    LOCATION: United Kingdom (UK)

    REPORTS TO: Sales Director EMEA

    Our client is an internationally renowned Italian high-end furniture manufacturer. They take pride in fostering a work environment based on respect, honesty, and enthusiasm.

    As a brand, they exceed expectations at every stage of the process, from the initial showroom presentation and the meticulous Selling Ceremony through to final delivery and dedicated customer follow-up. This is an organisation that offers genuine opportunities to succeed, learn, and grow within a global luxury framework.

    -- MISSION --

    Following a strategic restructuring and a sharpened focus on the UK and Ireland market, our client is appointing a Wholesale Director. This is a senior appointment reporting directly to the Sales Director EMEA at the headquarters in Italy.

    The UK and Ireland business operates via two distinct business units: Retail, which is managed through a flagship London showroom, and Wholesale/Partnerships BU. This role is dedicated exclusively to the leadership of the Wholesale and Partnership BU. The successful candidate will professionalise the wholesale strategy, manage and collaborate with a direct sales colleague, and lead a network of independent agents across two distinct brands.

    -- RESPONSIBILITIES --

    • Provide senior leadership for the UK and Ireland Wholesale business unit, and report performance directly to the Italian HQ.
    • Manage the existing commercial network, which includes one direct Sales Manager (responsible for a specific brand) and a team of independent agents.
    • Lead and audit the agent network to ensure effective penetration of the independent retail market for both brands.
    • Oversee the management of major retailers, distributors, and key partners, ensuring high-level service and brand alignment.
    • Drive the financial strategy for the division, with a heavy emphasis on accurate budgeting, forecasting, and the setting of rigorous commercial KPIs.
    • Monitor performance data to ensure all sales targets are met and that growth is sustainable and profitable across both brands.
    • Ensure the brand's Italian heritage and Selling Ceremony standards are implemented consistently across all wholesale partners.

    -- REQUIREMENTS --

    • Industry Pedigree: A minimum of 5 years of senior wholesale or agent management experience specifically within high-end furniture, aesthetic lighting, or high-end bedding.
    • Proven Network: A deep understanding of how luxury retail partners operate, with a successful track record of managing these specific relationships for at least 5 years.
    • Professional Background: Experience must be gained from a high-end manufacturer or a specialist agency dealing with the same tier of high-end retail partners.
    • Agent Leadership: Extensive experience managing and leading a team of independent agents. This is a critical requirement.
    • Financial Rigour: Significant experience in budgeting and forecasting, with the ability to report clearly to a global head office and hit set targets.
    • Team Management: Previous experience managing a team of agents.
    • Communication: Native or C1 level English with excellent presentation skills.
    • Mobility: A full driving licence and a willingness to travel 4 days per week across the UK and Ireland (with 1 day working from home).
