HR Operations Manager - North America (M/F)

More than ten years ago, I dared to imagine the first French fashion brand to be born online... Les Composantes, which has since become Sézane. My priorities haven't changed since then: to innovate and to put people, creativity, quality, respect and service at the heart of everything we do.

To continue to co-construct the next chapter and beyond, we are looking for creative, organized and agile talents, who share our passion to perpetually improve all that can be.

Sézane is a playground which resembles no other, your job today won't be the same as yesterday, and probably nothing like tomorrow. If that appeals to you, we can't wait to hear from you!
