City of London
About Saar Saar is a curated digital e-concept store built in Delhi, India — at the intersection of fashion, ritual, and interior living. We don't have catalogues. We have drops — each one named, art-directed, and treated like a living moodboard. Our references are Jacquemus, Le Creuset, Aesop, and Cabana Magazine. India hasn't seen anything quite like us yet. @saar.objects · saarcollective.com The role Build the UK and European chapter of Saar Editions from scratch — scout independent EU/UK brands, onboard them, and bring them to India for the first time, under Saar's editorial lens. Full creative authority. A credited body of work in your name. What you'll do · Scout and onboard independent brands, ateliers and studios across Europe and the UK · Walk Salone del Mobile, Maison & Objet, Homo Faber, London Craft Week — and the quieter fairs that matter more · Visit ateliers in person, request samples, build vendor relationships before we transact · Shoot editorial photography and short-form video of founders, ateliers and products in their own world · Fly to Delhi occasionally to co-create drops with the Saar team and be on set when it matters · Own your edit — the brands you discover, the relationships you build, the objects you bring to India first Not in scope: holding stock, signing on Saar's behalf, or handling logistics and finance. Who we're looking for · Currently studying for a Master's (design, fashion, art history, anthropology, hospitality, luxury management, curatorial studies, publishing) or recently graduated · Based anywhere in Europe or the UK · A strong, trained eye — you know great design from good design immediately · Entrepreneurial — you figure things out, you don't wait to be told · Able to open doors — you can walk into a studio in Milan or a workshop in Lisbon and make them want to be part of something larger · A capable content maker — you can shoot a founder's atelier and make it feel like a Saar story · Fluent in English; a second European language (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Danish, Dutch, German) is a real advantage How it works · Part-time, approximately 20 hours a week, flexible around fairs, studio visits and India trips · GBP 300/month stipend · Travel costs for fairs, in-person brand meetings, and Delhi trips are covered by Saar · Remote, from your home city This structure is intentional — it leaves room alongside a Master's programme, freelance content work, or another role that supports your living costs. The upside is creative authority, equity in what you build, and a credited body of work How to apply Do not apply through LinkedIn's quick apply.
