US Sales Manager

An exciting opportunity exists to work in the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of Fashion Technology at ORDRE.

ORDRE is an industry leading company that continues to break new ground in technological innovations for the fashion industry.   The company developed and launched the world’s first multi-label wholesale showroom ORDRE.com in 2015. As those virtual showrooms evolved, the company developed high-resolution 360º photography and video technology known as ORB360 to help buyers overcome the hesitancy of remote buying without touching or feeling garments. This focus on cutting edge technology has resulted in ORDRE’s clients being the most prestigious fashion brands in the world.  Now more than ever, the global fashion industry is accelerating its adoption of new digital solutions to run and grow their businesses and ORDRE continues to drive that conversation and create new disruptive technologies.
