Director of Strategic Partnerships & Licensing (Luxury)

Yibi Group is a premier China Market Growth Partner. Following our monumental success with China Gold, we are positioning ourselves as the ultimate Business and Cultural Bridge for European Maisons. We empower heritage brands to expand their aesthetic DNA into untapped lifestyle categories through strategic licensing and senior omni-channel operations in China.

We are looking for a Director of Strategic Partnerships based in Paris—a seasoned luxury insider with the influence and network to open doors at the highest levels of the French luxury industry.

• Maison Relations: Act as the primary liaison between Yibi Group and French Luxury Maisons. Your role is to secure exclusive licensing agreements for "white space" categories identified in the China market.
• Strategic Pitching: Present Yibi Group’s unique dual-model: Combining jewelry-grade manufacturing precision with senior e-commerce mastery to drive significant new revenue for brands.
• Growth Identification: Work closely with our China-based team to identify categories (Lifestyle, Tech-Accessories, Home) where a brand’s heritage can be translated into high-growth market realities.
• C-Suite Engagement: Leverage your existing network to navigate the complex organizational structures of luxury groups (LVMH, Kering, etc.), ensuring our proposal reaches the right global decision-makers.

Qualifications

• The Paris Network: A deep, active network within the French Luxury ecosystem. You should already know the key stakeholders in Global Licensing, Brand Strategy, or Business Development.
• Expertise: 10-15 years in Luxury. You understand the nuances of Brand Equity—how to grow a brand in China without diluting its prestige.
• Commercial Acumen: You don’t just manage relationships; you close deals. You understand the "China Opportunity" and can articulate our China Gold success story as a proof of performance.
• Cultural Fluency: You speak the language of "Luxury" and "Heritage," but you are driven by the agility and results of the modern Chinese digital economy.
• Unrivaled Track Record: We leverage the success of China Gold as a definitive case study in scaling high-ticket items.
• Full-Stack Execution: Unlike consulting firms, we provide the actual omni-channel operation and advanced manufacturing required to bring a vision to life.
• Strategic Influence: You will be at the forefront of defining the future of luxury lifestyle in the world's most dynamic market.

Yibi Group is committed to diversity and inclusivity in the workplace.
