The Role

POAN is looking for a top-tier salesperson who is excited by the prospect of growing a young, high-pedigree brand.

  • Aesthetic Brand Ambassador: Represent a brand that is "culturally present, aware, and curious"—appealing to an arts-involved audience (similar to Margiela or Dries Van Noten).
  • Retail Operations: Manage the daily’s of the retail environment while maintaining an intellectual approach to business development and strategy reporting.
  • Creative Outlet: While the primary focus is sales, this role offers a creative outlet for those interested in providing input on aesthetics and design selections.

  • Active Client Book: Must come with a personal book of high-net-worth clients who resonate with "Vanguard" luxury.
  • Sales Hungry: A "natural" instinct for conversion, combined with the patience for long-term relationship building.
