• Lead high jewelry appointments with confidence, including private viewings, bespoke discussions, and special order opportunities.
• Deliver an elevated client experience across every touchpoint, from initial introduction through post-sale follow-up.
• Present collections with authority, including detailed knowledge of gemstones, craftsmanship, materials, pricing, and design story.
• Maintain accurate and detailed client records, including purchase history, preferences, milestones, and outreach activity.
• Partner closely with store leadership on appointments, events, activations, and client strategies.
• Serve as a keyholder and model strong judgment, discretion, and professionalism on the sales floor.
• Stock handling and inventory control
• Transfers and special order tracking
• CRM updates, reporting, and outreach planning
• Visual presentation and daily floor standards
• Security, product handling, and client confidentiality compliance
• Help create a refined, welcoming boutique environment that reflects high jewelry service standards.

• Proven success selling true high jewelry, including six-figure transactions and extended private selling processes.
• Portable client book with demonstrated personal relationships and meaningful annual sales volume.
• Track record of developing and retaining VVIP, UHNW, and collector-level clients who buy through the individual, not only through the house they represent.
• Strong command of clienteling, private appointments, follow-up, and long-cycle relationship management.
• Ability to thrive in a new flagship environment where the seller plays a central role in building the business.
• Polished presence, sound judgment, and the discretion required for a small, high-touch luxury boutique.
• Experience as a keyholder or in a similarly trusted boutique role is strongly preferred.
• Comfort working fully on-site in New York, NY.
• GIA certification or comparable gemological training is a plus.
• Additional experience in auction, estate, signed jewelry, store openings, or new market launches is a plus.
