# Manager, Partnerships – Chalhoub Group

Chalhoub Group’s seven-decade history as a partner and creator of luxury brands across fashion, beauty, jewellery, watches, eyewear, and art de vivre depends heavily on the strength of its brand partnerships, since the group operates largely as a distributor and retail partner for international luxury houses in the region. A Manager of Partnerships is responsible for developing, managing, and growing these relationships, working to align Chalhoub’s regional retail and distribution strategy with each partner brand’s global standards and commercial goals.

The day-to-day work involves acting as the primary relationship point of contact for one or more brand partners, coordinating on commercial planning, marketing initiatives, and retail execution to make sure the brand’s regional presence meets its global standards, and identifying opportunities to grow the partnership, new store openings, category expansion, or deeper commercial collaboration. Because luxury brand partners are protective of their brand identity and standards, this role requires genuine sensitivity to brand guidelines alongside the commercial negotiation skills needed to advocate for Chalhoub’s regional interests.

Success in this role depends on balancing two sometimes competing priorities: representing the brand partner’s global standards faithfully, while also pushing for the commercial terms and strategic flexibility Chalhoub needs to run a profitable regional operation.

This suits an experienced relationship or business development professional with luxury retail or brand management experience who’s comfortable operating diplomatically between a global brand partner’s expectations and a regional distributor’s commercial realities.

## Requirements

- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field; MBA is a plus

- Significant experience in partnership management, business development, or brand management, ideally within luxury retail or FMCG

- Strong negotiation and relationship management skills with sophisticated, brand-conscious partners

- Understanding of luxury brand standards, positioning, and retail execution requirements

- Strategic thinking to identify and develop partnership growth opportunities

- Excellent cross-cultural communication skills for working with international brand partners

- Comfortable balancing partner brand guidelines with regional commercial objectives
