SENIOR ACCOUNT MANAGER WAHTS – GERMANY & AUSTRIA

G-Star · Dusseldorf, Germany

About the role

About WAHTS

WAHTS is an Amsterdam-based menswear brand founded in 2012, built around Hybrid Menswear: clothing that blends the refinement of luxury menswear with the ease of contemporary sportswear.

The brand is sold through its own channels and a selected base of premium men's fashion retailers across Europe.

We are now expanding the wholesale business in Germany and Austria and are looking for a Senior Account Manager to lead it.

This is a senior role for someone who already has the network. We are looking for a candidate who can open the right doors from day one and who is genuinely happy to spend time on the road with their accounts.



What you will do

• Own the WAHTS wholesale business in Germany and Austria: turnover, sell-through and profitability

• Build and develop the door base, from premium independents to department stores, and open new accounts that fit the brand

• Run the full seasonal cycle: pre-season sell-in, showroom and trade fair appointments, in-season reorders and NOOS replenishment

• Build door-level assortments and size curves rather than selling one list to everyone

• Manage sell-through actively with your accounts, and use the data to drive repeat business instead of only pre-season orders

• Own the order book: forecasting, delivery follow-up, cancellations and clean order intake

• Support partners in-store with product training, visual merchandising and joint marketing

• Work with finance on payment terms and credit discipline

• Represent WAHTS at trade fairs and in the market


What you bring

• A strong, active network in premium fashion retail in Germany & Austria. This is the first requirement, not a nice to have

• Genuine willingness to travel. The territory is covered on the road, with regular trade fair and showroom weeks on top

• Five years or more in wholesale or account management in premium apparel, ideally menswear, at a level where you carried your own market

• A commercial, numbers-driven approach: you are comfortable working with sell-through, margin and order book data

• The credibility to sell a premium brand on product and positioning, not on discount

• German at native level and fluent English

• Driving license


What we offer

• The chance to build a brand in a market with real ownership and short decision lines

• A premium product with a clear identity and international retail credibility

• Competitive salary with performance-related bonus, company car or car allowance

• The backing of an established international wholesale organization


WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT

  • We will thoroughly review your CV.
  • We have a large expat community, so please apply in English.
  • When we hopefully find what we are looking for, we will call you for a chat and if it’s a good fit, we’ll plan our first interview.
  • When we’re ready to commit to each other, we’ll finalize the terms we’ve discussed.
