We are seeking the talents of a
Brand Experience and Development Manager to join our US Team and contribute to the next chapter of Sézane's journey in the United States and Canada. This position is based in Los Angeles and will require regular travel.
About the RoleThis is a foundational brand hire across two markets - Octobre Éditions is building its first dedicated US team, and Sézane is expanding its presence in Canada. In this role, you will define how both Octobre and Sézane show up physically and culturally in their respective markets. Working closely with the Paris team on brand direction, you will have significant autonomy in how that translates locally - the casting, the spaces, the moments, and the people we align with.
Octobre Éditions - United States- Own the full brand experience in the US: pop-ups, shop-in-shops, events, and the opening of our first NY flagship boutique
- Lead physical activations end-to-end - site selection, execution, press, and community moments
- Build and manage influencer and creator relationships that introduce Octobre to a new American audience: editorial relationships with the stylists and writers who shape premium menswear taste, a community of mid-size creators in our highest-converting markets, and a structured approach to the organic UGC already appearing without any investment
- Work closely with the Paris team on brand direction while translating it into something that feels genuinely local - the casting, the spaces, the people, the moments
Sézane - Canada- Build local influencer and creator relationships across key markets (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver)
- Identify pop-up and wholesale opportunities that reflect Sézane's editorial standard and execute these special projects
- Give structure and momentum to a market with real organic traction and no dedicated support yet
Requirements- 8+ years of experience in brand experience, experiential marketing, retail development, or influencer marketing - ideally within premium fashion or lifestyle
- A track record of building and executing physical brand activations
- Existing network in the US and/or Canadian premium lifestyle and creator space
- Strong project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple markets and priorities
- Los Angeles-based; availability for regular travel across the US and Canada
- Bilingual French / English is a plus
Your profile:- You have worked at the intersection of physical retail and brand, and you understand that a pop-up is not a sales event - it's a brand statement
- You are resourceful to your core, comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by building from scratch
- You have existing relationships in the US and/or Canadian premium lifestyle space
- You know how to work with creators without making it feel transactional
- You are equally at ease across two distinct brand identities - womenswear and menswear - and two markets simultaneously
BenefitsSalary range: $100,000 - $130,000 depending on skills and experience.
