Global role | Meaningful equity | Luxury, wholesale, private clients and international growth
Kāli is building a global luxury house from India.
Our first collection brings together Italian nappa leather, sculptural brass, jewellery techniques and Indian metalcraft. Some pieces take more than 100 hours to complete. The house has been built through years of field research, product development and close work with artisans, engineers and master makers across India.
The product is ready. The foundations are in place. The next chapter is commercial.
We are looking for the person who will build it with the founder.
This role will shape how Kāli enters international markets, which retailers and collectors discover the house first, how private-client relationships are built, and how the commercial organisation develops over time.
You may currently work in luxury fashion, handbags, accessories, jewellery, watches, high-end retail, private clients, hospitality, real estate or another field where trust, judgement and relationships drive business.
What matters is that you have built before.
You know how to open a market, earn a buyer’s attention, cultivate high-value clients and turn early interest into durable revenue. You are senior enough to bring judgement and relationships, while remaining close enough to the work to make the calls, carry the samples, follow up and close.
The mandate includes:
- International wholesale and distribution
- Private-client and collector development
- Strategic partnerships and market entry
- Trunk shows, appointments and commercial events
- Pricing, sales planning and channel strategy
- Investor conversations and commercial diligence
- Board relationships and strategic reporting
- Building the commercial team as the house grows
This is an equity-led founding position.
It will suit someone who wants meaningful ownership, direct access to the founder and the opportunity to influence the architecture of a luxury house while its most important commercial decisions are still being made.
Kāli is early, but the work behind it is not. The house has a distinctive product language, protected design codes, deep craft capability and a clear international ambition.
We are looking for someone who can recognise the scale of that opportunity, and help turn it into a business of consequence.
- If that sounds like the work you want the next chapter of your career to be known for, speak to the founder.
