Assistant Manager

More than ten years ago, I dared to imagine the first French fashion brand born online... it was called Les Composantes, now it's called Sezane.

My priorities have always remained the same: to innovate and place people, creativity, quality, and service at the heart of everything.

To co-build the future, we are now looking for creative, structured, and agile talents who share the desire to constantly improve everything that can be improved. Passionate, autonomous talents who view work with respect for others and for whom nothing is out of reach, as long as they are given the means.

Sezane is a playground where each day is unlike any other, your position today may not be the same as yesterday and probably not the same as tomorrow. Does this speak to you? Write to us!
