Creative Project Manager
Luxury Footwear Company
Initial Fixed Term – Six Months
(…with potential to extend/full time role)
Our Story
Founded in 2016 by Allan Baudoin and Bo van Langeveld, Baudoin & Lange designs, manufactures and sells high-end shoes for men and women.
Allan Baudoin, a computer scientist and Apple alumni turned self-trained bespoke shoe maker, designed and handcrafted the first Sagan in 2014 as his own atelier shoes – hundreds of prototypes and two years of development later, the Sagan was born – instantly conquering the connoisseurs regulars of “the Row” with their supreme comfort, fit for a modern lifestyle.
When he and Bo van Langeveld, an ex-racing driver turned financier who was tired of suffering in his obligatory formal office shoes, met – they together developed the idea of a modern shoe brand that would combine the best of both worlds : comfort and style.
Our first staple product, the Sagan, is a supremely comfortable and versatile category defining loafer, featured in major publications and sold in over a hundred countries.
