• Coordinate cross-functional teams across brand, product, design, legal, sales, retail, and digital commerce
• Build and manage business cases including budget allocation, margin analysis, revenue forecasting, and post-launch performance reviews
• Track revenue contribution, retail sell-through, direct-to-consumer performance, and brand awareness metrics for each collaboration
• Brief and align internal stakeholders on launch strategy, content requirements, and retail sell-in materials

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in licensing, brand partnerships, or co-branding within FMCG, consumer lifestyle, entertainment, or licensing/talent agencies
• Proven track record delivering 3+ limited editions or co-branded product drops from concept through launch with measurable results
• Direct experience negotiating and executing LOIs, licensing agreements, and talent contracts with full commercial responsibility
• Established network of IP holders, agencies, talent managers, and entertainment companies

• Experience owning six-to-seven figure budgets and building business cases from the ground up
• Native-level German and full professional fluency in English required
• Strategic thinking combined with hands-on execution capabilities

Preferred qualifications:

• Direct experience working with entertainment studios, IP holders, or major talent agencies
