Moleskine

About Moleskine

Moleskine grew out of Modo&Modo, the small Milan publisher that brought the black notebook back in 1997, and was later bought and delisted by the D'Ieteren group; its American business runs from New York. Its board shows two sales lines. The stores Moleskine runs itself hire retail sales associates, plus seasonal help for the holidays, in New York City (Rockefeller Center, Grand Central, Moynihan Train Hall and the Time Warner Center among them), in Bethesda and in Century City: an associate shares the brand's story, steers each customer to the notebook, planner or pen that suits them and works to store sales goals, and also holds keys, opens and closes, handles cash, runs the POS, merchandises and at some stores covers solo shifts. Wholesale is the other line, where a national sales manager in New York owns key national retail accounts, negotiating with their buyers, forecasting, turning sell-through data into plans and managing brokers and distributors; the posting looks for key account experience in consumer products with chains such as Target, Staples, Office Depot, Amazon or Costco. Spanish beside English and experience with the Cegid retail system are pluses in the stores.
