Applications close Oct 23, 2026

Job Description

Chalhoub Group, a partner and creator of luxury experiences across the Middle East for over seven decades, is hiring a Regional Account Manager for Christofle in Dubai. Christofle is a storied French silverware and tableware maison, and Chalhoub Group is the partner responsible for bringing that brand’s luxury retail presence to the region, spanning the fashion, beauty, jewellery, watches, eyewear, and art de vivre categories more broadly.

As a Regional Account Manager, the role centers on managing and growing key accounts across the region for the Christofle brand — building relationships with wholesale, retail, or trade partners, managing commercial performance across those accounts, and representing the brand’s luxury positioning consistently in every commercial interaction. This is relationship-driven, commercially accountable work, requiring both the polish expected of a heritage luxury maison and the discipline of genuine account management and revenue responsibility.

This suits an experienced account or commercial manager with a background in luxury goods, ideally with familiarity in tableware, home, or a related luxury category, who is comfortable managing multiple regional accounts and building long-term trade or partner relationships. Strong commercial acumen paired with genuine luxury brand sensibility is essential.

Impact of the Job

For a heritage luxury brand like Christofle, how it's represented commercially across the region matters just as much as the product itself — an account manager who maintains strong, well-managed trade relationships protects the brand's positioning in every market it touches, since inconsistent commercial handling can quietly erode the premium perception a heritage brand depends on. Strong regional account management also directly drives revenue performance across Christofle's presence in the market, and because these are typically longer-term trade and partner relationships rather than one-off transactions, the quality of account management compounds over multiple years of commercial performance rather than resetting with every deal. For Chalhoub Group as the region's trusted partner for luxury brands, consistently strong account management across its portfolio — including Christofle — is also part of what sustains its broader reputation with the luxury maisons it represents, supporting the group's ability to continue winning and retaining these kinds of prestigious brand partnerships across the region.

Job Seeker Benefit

Managing regional accounts for a heritage luxury maison like Christofle, within Chalhoub Group's seven-decade luxury retail network, provides genuine exposure to how premium and luxury brand commercial relationships actually operate at a senior trade level — a specialization that carries real prestige and depth within the luxury retail industry. Chalhoub Group's portfolio spans fashion, beauty, jewellery, watches, eyewear, and art de vivre, and being part of that wider ecosystem creates genuine internal mobility potential for strong performers to move across brands or categories over time, building an increasingly broad luxury commercial network. Regional account management experience specifically — managing relationships and commercial performance across multiple markets rather than a single territory — is a distinctly senior commercial skill set that positions strong performers well for future regional or global brand management, trade marketing, or commercial director roles within the luxury sector. Chalhoub Group's standing as the region's leading luxury retail partner also carries significant weight on a CV within the industry, and the relationships built with both the Christofle brand team and regional trade partners provide a genuinely valuable professional network for a long-term luxury retail career, one that keeps paying off well past this specific assignment and across whichever heritage maison comes next.
