Sales Manager - Napapijri

Munich, Germany

Napapijri is looking for an exceptional Sales Manager to join us in Germany!

Let’s Talk About The Role

In this key role, you will relaunch and rebuild Napapijri’s wholesale business in Germany, starting from a limited base and developing a strong, sustainable distribution. The initial focus will be on Menswear and Footwear, with phased expansion into Womenswear and Kids.

How You Will Make a Difference

• Oversee sell‑in, forecasting, order management, and daily wholesale operations during the rebuild phase.
• Analyze sell‑through performance and translate insights into actionable growth plans.
• Act as a brand ambassador, ensuring consistent in‑store execution, visibility, and product storytelling.
• Collaborate closely with European HQ and cross‑functional teams to support long‑term market development.

Your impact will be instrumental in creating the foundation for future scale and team expansion.

Skills For Success

• Strong existing wholesale network in Germany, ideally in lifestyle, outdoor, or premium fashion.
• Proven experience in market build‑up or business relaunch environments.
• Highly entrepreneurial and execution‑driven, comfortable operating end‑to‑end.
• Strong commercial, negotiation, and relationship‑building skills.
