About Authentic Brands Group
Authentic's sellers do not ship goods: they sign licensing deals that put brands it owns, such as Reebok, Champion, Nautica, Brooks Brothers, Sports Illustrated and Elvis Presley, onto product made and sold by other companies, and it counts more than 1,700 licensees and partners in over 150 countries. The commercial side is split into a Sports & Lifestyle division and a Media & Entertainment division (three openings each), and the work into two kinds: business development people who prospect, cold call, draft term sheets and close new licensees against a quota for their business pillar, and retail business development people who work key retailers on behalf of licensees and negotiate direct-to-retail (DTR) licenses. On the new-business side it wants a lifestyle BD director in Tokyo with eight years of licensing in Japanese fashion, beauty and lifestyle, a BD manager in Mexico City covering Latin America, an entertainment BD manager in London for EMEA, and a Shanghai manager who both sells and then looks after licensees for its character IP in China. The two retail seats are senior: a director in Munich who reports to the SVP and general manager for DACH and needs German, and a senior director in London who runs monthly and quarterly sell-through reviews with retailers across EMEAI for the entertainment brands. None of the six is in the US, though the company is headquartered in New York.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
