modernity connects senior commercial leaders with founder-led fashion and beauty brands, at the precise moment commercial complexity demands structure.
get in touch →we work exclusively on a retained basis, deeply embedded, advisory, and fully committed to finding the right person for your brand at the right moment.
we're selective about the searches we take on. every role we commit to gets our full attention. we only ever work within our niche, so when we're on your brief, we know exactly where to look and who to approach.
the best commercial leaders in fashion and beauty are embedded and performing. the right approach matters. identifying them, approaching them with discretion, and persuading them to consider a move takes a different kind of process. we know where they are, and we know how to reach them.
retained search gives us the time to be thorough. you'll only ever see candidates we believe in - people we've spoken to properly and would genuinely recommend.
founder-led and pe-backed brands at the point where commercial complexity outpaces instinct. multi-channel. margin-focused. ready to build structure.
senior commercial leaders who have built structure within scaling brands. merchandising, planning, buying, trading, wholesale and retail operations. people who've owned the commercial function end to end, improved margin under pressure, and thrive reporting to founders and boards.
i'm molly, founder of modernity. i know recruitment, and i know what a great hire looks like. i've spent my career doing it, and i'm good at it.
for a long time i did it in the wrong industry. i've followed fashion and beauty my whole life, the brands, the founders, the decisions behind them. becoming a mum made me want to build something that reflected that properly. something focused, specialist, and completely my own.
modernity is that thing. retained, specialist, and built around one simple idea: that the right commercial hire changes everything.
outgrown instinct? or a commercial leader ready for what's next? either way, let's start a conversation.
