PERMANENT CONTRACT - CITY MANAGER- NEW YORK CITY

LA MAISON JACQUEMUS

Jacquemus was founded by Simon Porte Jacquemus in 2009 in Paris, France. Dedicated to the memory of the designer’s late mother, the brand draws inspiration from a passion for culture. The Jacquemus ready-to-wear and accessories collections for men and women reference the French way of life and universal gestures of beauty, encompassing influences from fine art photography to decorative arts, cinema, painting, and sculpture. Throughout the years, Jacquemus has staged runway productions in unique and unexpected locations, including a Parisian swimming pool, the Musée Picasso, a lavender field in Provence, a wheat field outside Paris, a salt marsh in the Camargue, and a beach in Hawaii. More recently, the brand has embraced settings such as the canal of the Château de Versailles (Le Chouchou), the Fondation Maeght (Les Sculptures), Casa Malaparte (La Casa) and Auguste Perret’s Parisian apartment (La Croisière). Based in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, Jacquemus is an independent fashion house with over 300 employees. Renowned for its fast-growing digital presence and its worldwide business spread, the brand has created innovative retail experiences around the world before opening its first permanent flagship store at 58 Avenue Montaigne in Paris in 2022. Following this milestone, international boutiques have opened in New York (SoHo), London (New Bond Street), Los Angeles (Melrose Avenue) and Dubai.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The City Manager is a strong leader responsible for driving the business through sales support, enforcing operational policies, training, and stock management.

The City Manager collaborates closely with the HQ team in Paris and, in the absence of a local HQ team, represents the Maison locally. In this role, the City Manager also leads the opening and ongoing operation of Bloomingdale's concession corner, in addition to the Soho flagship — managing both doors as a unified commercial and operational scope.
