Director of Licensing

Own the Future of Licensing at a Fast-Growing Consumer Brand

H.E.R. Accessories is a trend-driven leader in fashion and consumer products, designing and delivering high-quality merchandise across hair accessories, jewelry, cosmetics, and more. Since 2000, we’ve built a strong reputation for bringing licensed brands to market quickly and effectively, while continuing to expand our private label portfolio.

With a vertically integrated global operation (New York & Hong Kong), our team moves fast, stays close to trends, and partners with some of the most recognized brands in the world.

We are hiring a Director of Licensing to take full ownership of our licensing function and help drive the next phase of growth.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on, high-impact leadership role responsible for building and scaling our licensing strategy. You will:

• Own and expand H.E.R.’s licensing portfolio across product categories
• Identify and secure emerging licenses, brands, and cultural trends before they peak
• Lead the full lifecycle of licensing deals — from sourcing to negotiation to execution
• Manage relationships with licensors (including major partners like Disney) and ensure strong ongoing communication
• Partner closely with internal teams to bring licensed products to market successfully
• Oversee and guide a small team, including a licensing coordinator supporting approvals and submissions
• Stay ahead of industry trends across social media, entertainment, and consumer behavior to drive new opportunities

What You Bring

• Proven experience in brand licensing and portfolio management across multiple categories
• Strong contract negotiation experience with complex licensing agreements
• Deep understanding of the licensing landscape—from major brands to emerging opportunities
• Ability to spot trends early and translate them into commercially viable partnerships
• Experience within consumer products, fashion, or accessories environments
• Strong analytical and forecasting capabilities to support licensing decisions
• Excellent communication and relationship management skills

Why This Role is Different

• You will have true ownership and autonomy—this role is being built to take work off leadership’s plate and elevate the function
• Opportunity to build something from the ground up and shape the licensing strategy
• Work in a lean, entrepreneurial environment where speed and execution matter
• Direct impact on revenue growth, brand partnerships, and product direction
