Filippa K

Global Sales Manager Soft Sport

As of 2017 Filippa K is embarking on a new mission to become a company that can win online globally. This has resulted in a restructuring where the traditional retail and wholesale channels have been scaled down to fund an expansion in the own online channel and with global e-retailers. The ambition is to double the size of the company over the next 5 years with the majority of the growth online. In order to support this journey, we are now looking for a Global Sales Manager placed in the Sales team, reporting to the Global Head of Wholesale, Andreas Hallin. The position is located at Filippa K HQ in Münchenbryggeriet, Stockholm.
