Assistant Store Manager
Mejuri is the category-defining fine jewelry brand redefining luxury, your way. Feeling disconnected from an industry that typically markets to men, co-founder and CEO Noura Sakkijha leveraged her learnings as a third-generation jeweler to rethink the way women purchase jewelry—for themselves. In only seven years, and with a team of over 75% women, Mejuri has shipped over one million orders and opened retail stores across the globe, all while introducing new products weekly.
As part of Noura’s original vision to empower women to invest in themselves, the brand launched the Empowerment Fund to support underrepresented women and non-binary individuals with the tools to empower themselves. Mejuri continues to reach new customers through exciting community initiatives and expansion into international markets, such as the UK, Australia and Germany.
We are a team of retailers, creatives, technologists and strategists, and we are looking for someone special to join our team.
The Role:
It has never been a more exciting time to join the retail leadership team here at Mejuri! Our global retail team is growing more than ever, with stores opening across Canada, the US, and UK. By the end of year, we will have 30 stores in our scaling retail network.
As our newest Assistant Store Manager, you are a charismatic leader with exceptional service and sales acumen. Reporting into the Store Manager you will be responsible for supporting all aspects of the store including operations, driving customer service excellence, increasing profitability and fostering an environment of motivation and engagement to enable the store team to achieve company goals and objectives.
You are a dynamic individual with an entrepreneurial mindset, exceptional customer service skills and a passion for leading and coaching teams. In supporting the Store Manager, you are second in command and have a tremendous impact on driving growth and achieving the KPI’s, providing the best in class customer service experience for our clients, supporting talent acquisition & development activities, visual merchandising, and operations, while demonstrating the Mejuri core values. You will play an important part in developing a retail environment that is deeply focused around our clients and set the foundation for our sales culture. You are obsessed with every detail when it comes to the customer journey and excel in data-driven decision making.
