Commercial Director – Paris

COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR | PARIS

Lead the transformation of an iconic premium brand into a leading European omnichannel retailer.

IB Talent Search is delighted to be partnering with a global premium retail group following the acquisition of an established Paris-based brand.

As part of an ambitious investment and growth strategy, our Client is seeking an exceptional Commercial Director to lead the next chapter of the business.

This is far more than a traditional commercial role.

We’re looking for someone who can combine entrepreneurial thinking with commercial discipline—a leader who enjoys building businesses, creating structure, driving performance, and inspiring teams.

Your mission will include:

Leading the transformation of the business from a successful French retailer into a multi-national omnichannel brand

Driving commercial performance across retail stores, e-commerce, CRM and customer experience

Developing and executing ambitious growth strategies across France before supporting expansion into Europe

Building a high-performance culture while remaining hands-on and close to the day-to-day operation

Working closely with international stakeholders to shape the future direction of the brand

We’re looking for someone who has:

Experience leading commercial transformation within a premium retail, luxury, fashion, jewellery, beauty or lifestyle business

A proven track record of growing omnichannel businesses, including e-commerce, CRM and customer acquisition

Experience managing both digital and physical retail performance

Strong commercial and financial acumen with P&L responsibility

An entrepreneurial mindset—you enjoy building, improving and creating rather than simply maintaining

International experience and the ability to work confidently across multiple markets

Fluent English (essential) and French

Location: Paris

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a business at a pivotal moment in its history and play a leading role in creating one of Europe’s next premium retail success stories.

If you’re looking for a role where you can leave a lasting legacy, we’d love to hear from you.
