A Note on Experience

You might come from a showroom, wholesale operations, or a buying background- what matters most is your drive to take ownership, think commercially, and grow with us. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone ambitious, people-focused, and passionate about small brands.

The Claude Way

We're honest and empathetic. We trust our intuition (and each other). We're courageous, curious, and kind, with a good dose of fun along the way. We don't blame, we learn. We care about the details, go the extra mile, and ask "why not?" as much as "why."

If that sounds like you, you'll fit right in.
