About Silk & Sequins
Silk & Sequins is an established fashion house transitioning its signature heritage of bespoke, high-end tailoring into an exclusive, ultra-luxury Ready to Wear line. Driven by high-octane glamour, structural drama, and unapologetic femininity, our collections focus on premium garment architecture and show-stopping evening wear.
As we scale, we are launching a targeted wholesale strategy to place our pieces into premium, independent luxury retail boutiques across Ireland and Europe. We are seeking a sharp, stylish, and self-motivated assistant to act as the commercial engine behind this launch.
The Role & Future Opportunity
This is a micro-part-time, remote-first role (5 hours per week) designed for an ambitious fashion/marketing student, recent graduate, or freelance professional who wants to build an incredible portfolio.
We are explicitly looking for a long-term partner to grow with the brand. To ensure a perfect mutual fit, the role will begin with an initial 4-week trial period. Upon successful completion, this position is intended to transition into a permanent, long-term role as our retail network expands.
You will work directly with the Brand Founder to manage B2B outreach and elevate our brand presence. This role is a perfect blend of digital research, creative luxury marketing, and real-world commercial pitches.
Key Responsibilities:
Wholesale Market Research: Identify, vet, and map out high-end independent boutiques across Ireland that cater to premium occasion wear and luxury evening wear clientele.
B2B Sales Outreach: Build and manage structured Excel/Google Sheet lead trackers, drafting and executing sophisticated pitch emails to retail buyers.
In-Person Boutique Pitching: Visit target luxury boutiques—either alongside the Brand Founder or independently—to present the collection, display the garment architecture, and secure wholesale accounts.
Brand & Content Alignment: Collaborate on creative ideas for our social media channels to ensure our digital presence looks pristine, high-end, and highly attractive to boutique owners.
Studio Alignment (Occasional): Avail of flexible, periodic visits to our Carlow studio to review new garment architecture, understand the craftsmanship, and capture authentic behind-the-scenes content.
Requirements:
A profound understanding of, and passion for, the luxury fashion industry (evening wear, premium tailoring, and high-end design).
Confident, professional communication skills with the ability to pitch to retail buyers face-to-face and via email.
High organizational discipline—you must be comfortable managing spreadsheets and tracking leads accurately.
Familiarity with digital content tools (e.g., Canva, CapCut, social media editing) is a strong advantage.
Based in or within reasonable commuting distance of Co. Carlow for occasional studio alignment and regional boutique visits.
Benefits:A direct 10% commission on the wholesale value of all successful accounts you secure.
Long-Term Career Growth: The opportunity to establish yourself early within a growing luxury brand with a view to long-term employment.
Ultimate Flexibility: Choose your own working hours weekly to easily fit around your college classes or other freelance projects.
Direct Mentorship: Work one-on-one with the fashion designer and founder, gaining rare, face-to-face experience in luxury retail placement.
To Apply:
Please submit your CV along with a brief note detailing your passion for the luxury fashion industry and why you are drawn to the world of high-glamour evening wear.
