Business Developer - France

Results, growth, profit — this is the mindset we are looking for.

We are looking for a Business Developer with entrepreneurial DNA - a builder, a driver, and challenger - to join our journey for a world where people sleep well.

We seek individuals who raise the bar beyond what others think is possible, and then deliver on it. Are you business minded and know how to turn strategy into execution and execution into results and want to excel in a performance-based culture with no ceiling on potential earnings?

This is your opportunity to take ownership, shape your market together with our partners and make a lasting impact on a global luxury brand.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and inspire: Develop and empower our retail partners to reach new heights of performance.

• Own your market: Lead Hästens’ growth in your region with an entrepreneurial mindset – act as an owner, not an employee.

• Drive results: Open doors, close deals, and create opportunities others only dream of.

• Execute: Design and implement business action plans that redefine success.

• Represent: Strengthen Hästens’ position as a global luxury brand through your strategic leadership.

• Leadership: Travel, negotiate, and influence at the highest levels across your region, with occasional trips to Sweden and other international destinations.

Key Deliverables

• Annual Business Action Plans with activities to improve traffic, revenue and conversion rates, and reach sales targets.

• Tracking of BAP activity outcomes against plans.

• Achieve yearly sales targets.

• Bi-yearly visual merchandising reports, with agreed improvement plans.

• Store visit reports.

Key Skills and Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Economics, or a related field (Master’s degree is a plus).

• Proven entrepreneurial spirit – you take ownership, show initiative, and deliver without waiting for direction.

• Ideally some experience from founding, scaling, or leading a business.

• Strong commercial acumen with a focus on creating mutual growth with partners.

• Demonstrated record of achieving and exceeding ambitious targets.

• Experience in luxury sales, retail (B2B/B2C) and HNWI customer relationships is advantageous.

• Strategic, fearless, and competitive – you play to win and inspire others to do the same.

• Analytical and action-oriented – you plan, execute, and own your results.

• Fluent in English and French.

• Valid driver’s license with flexibility to travel approximately 80%.

Some things we offer

• A global stage where your performance is recognized and rewarded.

• The freedom and responsibility to act as an entrepreneur within a fast-growing international brand.

• The opportunity to compete and win at the highest level in luxury retail.

• A performance-based culture where ambition, leadership, and results are celebrated.

• Unlimited earning potential for those who deliver exceptional outcome.

This position is based remotely, with travel as required.
