Business Developer Usa Jobs

Business development US market for KAAI bags (Free lance , $80.000 fee+ $20.000 variable)

Founded by Helga Meersmans and Ine Verhaert in 2018, Kaai bags is a growing start-up from Belgium. During their 25 years of experience in the retail and fashion sector, they could not find an ideal work bag that is both functional and stylish, so they decided to design it themselves and have it produced in a specialized luxury atelier abroad.

Kaai is more than just a luxury bag brand, it’s a lifestyle, a movement that unites ambitious people across the globe. As the Kaai community and number of customers is growing fast in North America we want to structure our services and setup a local “hub” which will be the start for a future KAAI Us organization.
