COUNTRY MANAGER Build the next chapter of our growth locally in the UK & Ireland market.

UK & Ireland | Sales | 40 hours | Full-time

At Just Brands, we build menswear brands with character. PME Legend, Cast Iron and Vanguard each have their own voice, their own audience, and their own place in the market. From our strong position in the Netherlands and DACH, we’re building further across Europe, and that means our media needs to work harder, smarter and more sharply than ever.

But what really sets us apart is how we work together.

We’re a team-first business. No ego, no unnecessary layers, no endless talking, no corporate theatre. We back each other, challenge each other and keep raising the bar.
