Company Description

CREATIVITY IS OUR SUPERPOWER. It's our heritage and it's also our future. Because we don't just make toys. We create innovative products and experiences that inspire, entertain and develop children through play. Mattel is at its best when every member of our team feels respected, included, and heard—when everyone can show up as themselves and do their best work every day. We value and share an infinite range of ideas and voices that evolve and broaden our perspectives with a reach that extends into all our brands, partners, and suppliers.

Job Description

This isn't a role for casual fans.

We're looking for someone who knows the hunt, the grails, the hype. Someone who can spot a rare variant at a glance...

If that sounds like you, you might be the one to take Mattel's legendary brands — Hot Wheels, Barbie, Masters of the Universe, Monster High, and more — into the next era of fandom.

Your mission (collect them all):

This individual will be responsible for expanding & executing channel strategies, nurturing distributor partnerships, and developing new clientele from the ground.

This role requires an entrepreneurial mindset, strong commercial acumen, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. The AKAM will be instrumental in establishing our presence in the Greek Market and ensuring sustainable long-term growth across both the retail and hobby markets.

Qualifications

Key Account/Sales Development

• Build key account relationships from scratch, including relevant retail and hobby stores.
• Serve as a key contact for account negotiations, commercial discussions, and partnership strategy.

Market Development & Launch Execution

• Support new product launches and brand initiatives in collaboration with internal marketing and channel partners.
• Represent the voice of the collector community by gathering market feedback and insights.
• Use insights to recommend growth strategies and optimize revenue delivery.
• Be the first to catch what's trending — the drop everyone's chasing, the collab nobody saw coming.
• Show up where fans are: conventions, premieres, pop-ups.
• Be the translator between hardcore fans and the business world — keeping it authentic while building growth.

Background in streetwear, gaming or entertainment Industry will be ideal.

Why this role is a rare drop:

• Turn your passion into your paycheck — most people chase grails, you'll help launch them.
• Work on a portfolio with true icon status — brands that shaped generations and still fuel collectors worldwide.
• Be part of the fan moments that matter: the exclusives, the collabs, the reveals.
• Join a squad that knows the culture and speaks the language — no translation needed.
