Director of Strategic Partnerships & Brand Licensing (Luxury)

Yibi Hantang is a premier China Market Growth Partner operating at the intersection of industrial excellence and cultural commerce. Following our monumental success with China Gold, we are expanding our mission: to empower Italian Luxury Maisons to capture "white space" opportunities in the Chinese market through strategic lifestyle licensing and senior omni-channel operations.

We are seeking a high-caliber Director of Strategic Partnerships based in Milan—a luxury industry veteran with the influence and network to open doors at the highest levels of Italian luxury houses (Gucci, Prada, Bulgari, Bottega Veneta, Fendi, Valentino, Loro Piana etc.).

• Maison Relations & Licensing: Act as the primary liaison between Yibi Group and Italian Luxury Maisons. Your role is to secure exclusive licensing agreements for untapped lifestyle categories (Lifestyle, Home, Tech-Accessories, Premium Hardware).
• Strategic Growth Pitching: Present Yibi Group’s unique "Dual-Model": Combining jewelry-grade manufacturing precision with senior e-commerce mastery to drive significant new revenue streams in China.
• Capitalizing on "Made in China" Excellence: Articulate the value of China’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem for brand extensions, ensuring every artifact aligns with the Maison’s aesthetic standards.
• C-Suite Engagement: Leverage your existing network to navigate the organizational structures of major luxury groups, ensuring our vision reaches global decision-makers in Brand Development and Licensing.

• The Milanese Luxury Network: 12+ years of experience within the Italian luxury ecosystem. You should have direct access to decision-makers in Milan’s Quadrilatero della Moda and beyond.

• Commercial Mastery: You have a proven track record in Brand Licensing or Category Extension. You know how to translate heritage into high-growth commercial realities without diluting brand equity.
• Performance-Driven Mindset: You are inspired by results. You can leverage our China Gold success story to prove that Yibi Group is the most agile partner for capturing the modern Chinese consumer.
• Cultural Bridge: You possess the "Italian taste" for luxury but have the strategic vision to understand why China’s digital economy requires a senior, local operational partner.

• Proven Performance: Use our success with China Gold as a definitive case study in scaling high-ticket brand legacy.
• End-to-End Execution: We provide the omni-channel operation and multi-category supply chain required to turn visionary concepts into market reality.
• Global Influence: Lead the expansion of Italian heritage into the private, daily rituals of the Chinese elite.

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