About the Role
We are hiring a Shop Director to lead our New York flagship — an intimate, luxury environment devoted to the art and culture of high jewelry. The primary mandate of this role is client acquisition: prospecting, cultivating, and converting new High Net Worth clients — across the NY Tri-State region, nationally, and internationally — through elevated clientelling, private appointments, bespoke storytelling, and VIP experiences.
The candidate will also lead, coach, and elevate a small, talented team of Client Advisors — driving sales, ensuring refined hospitality, consistent standards, and exceptional performance.
Core Focus: Client Development & Leadership
• Prospect and acquire new HNW clients across NYC, Tri-State, nationally, and internationally through networking, referrals, partner channels + private introductions
• Lead and personally host elevated private appointments (in boutique, offsite, virtual) to drive conversion and long-term loyalty
• Curate bespoke client journeys, including exclusive previews and VIP experiences to deepen emotional connection and repeat purchase
• Maintain precise CRM discipline to identify opportunity, drive frequency, and maximize lifetime client value
• Promote a culture of teamwork, high standards, continuous learning, and professional growth
• Provide regular qualitative insights to HQ on client behavior, sales trends, and operational needs to inform strategy and buying
• Add meaningful value to the client experience through fluency in culture, the arts, and the New York creative landscape
• Develop, coach, and elevate Client Advisors in true luxury clientelling — modeling preparation, hospitality, discretion, and follow-through
• Architect a boutique culture where client development is proactive, strategic, and consistent — not transactional
Qualifications
• 5+ years luxury retail leadership (fine jewelry strongly preferred)
• Proven success acquiring and developing HNW clientele
• Deep fluency in VIP clientelling and relationship-based selling
• Strong leadership presence; excellent communication and discretion
• High taste level and appreciation for art, craftsmanship, and design
• CRM familiarity and disciplined client development practices
