Executive, CEO, COO, CFO, GM & Consultant Jobs

Executive leadership is the defining factor in any fashion business's growth, culture and commercial success. Finding the right CEO, COO, CFO, General Manager or other C-suite leader for a fashion, retail or lifestyle business requires a recruiter with genuine industry depth, a vast professional network and the discretion that senior executive search demands. That's exactly what Who in the Zoo delivers.

We specialise in executive and senior leadership recruitment across Australia's fashion, retail, wholesale, ecommerce and lifestyle sectors. Roles we recruit at this level include Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Manager, Managing Director, Country Manager, VP of Retail, VP of Ecommerce and other director-level positions.

For fashion businesses and brand owners, executive hiring is your highest-stakes recruitment decision. The wrong appointment can cost years of momentum; the right one can redefine your trajectory. We approach every executive search with a bespoke strategy — combining direct headhunting, our proprietary industry network and rigorous candidate assessment to present only the most qualified, culturally aligned leaders.

For senior professionals exploring new executive opportunities in the fashion industry, we offer complete confidentiality and a highly personalised approach. Many of the most significant leadership appointments in Australian fashion are never advertised publicly — they happen through trusted relationships, and Who in the Zoo is at the centre of that network.

If your fashion or lifestyle business is ready for its next executive hire, or if you are a senior leader open to the right opportunity, we invite you to connect with our team. Reach out to Who in the Zoo for a confidential conversation today.
