FARFETCH exists for the love of fashion. Our mission is to be the global platform for luxury fashion, connecting creators, curators and consumers. We're a positive platform for good, bringing together an incredible creative community made up by our people, our partners and our customers. This community is at the heart of our business success. We welcome differences, empower individuality and celebrate diverse skills and perspectives, creating an inclusive environment for everyone. We are FARFETCH for All.

We're partnering with global brands and the most influential and renowned boutique curators to bring our customers an unrivalled range of fashion to empower their individuality. We’re relationship builders, we’re solution finders and we’re analysts. We work with all areas of the FARFETCH business to improve our social and environmental impact while delivering business success. We want to empower our consumers to buy better, improve our operational footprint, and explore new business models that improve our impact.

Our office is located in Old Street, London's tech hub. Our open-plan space is ideal for collaborative working. When you're not doing what's never been done, you can enjoy a team lunch on our large outdoor terrace, or join a yoga class in our dedicated studio.

The Head of Business Development is responsible for leading business development across Brands and Boutiques for the EMEA region, with dotted line accountability from Americas and APAC regions. The Head of BD will own the pipeline of brand and boutique signings and be responsible for setting targets and driving the team to deliver against new business opportunities. Concurrently, the Head of BD will also oversee expansions and terminations within the existing partner portfolio.

The role will require thought leadership on new commercial & operational models that best fit partner needs and reflect changes in the competitive landscape; a strong and detailed grasp on the specifics of FARFETCH’s legal and financial setup; and close collaboration with Integrations (PI) on partner technical needs, and Merchandising on pipeline prioritisation. Finally, the Head of BD should also oversee the transition from new partner signing into ongoing partner management once handed over to Brand Management, Account Management, and Partner Success/Service teams.
