Finance, Controlling & Accounting Manager

About Rowen Rose

Rowen Rose is a French luxury house founded in Paris in 2018 by designer Emma Rowen Rose. The brand operates between France and Italy — its creative direction and identity are rooted in Paris, while every piece is produced in Italy, drawing on the country's finest tailoring and craftsmanship. This French–Italian axis is central to how the house works and to the product it delivers.

The brand is defined by its signature: structured, character-driven garments built on a strong tailoring tradition, with a bold and contrast-led aesthetic. Rowen Rose has built genuine international recognition, exporting to markets across Europe, Asia and beyond, and takes part in the fashion weeks — most recently expanding into menswear with its first runway show in Milan. In a few years, it has gone from a young Parisian label to an emerging international luxury name.

As the brand enters a structuring phase, we are looking for a Finance, Controlling & Accounting Manager to bring rigor, clarity, and control to our financial ecosystem. Reporting directly to Management, this role is the financial backbone of the Maison.
