Area Manager
This isn't your average Area Manager role. At Jewells, we're building something special.
London – Full-Time / Field Based
Who Are Jewells?
We’re redefining casual luxury in the jewellery world, blending modern, trend-driven design with premium craftsmanship. Headquartered in London, we cater to the style-conscious consumer who values timeless style and sustainability. As a fast-growing global brand launched in early 2025, we’re an an exciting journey of expansion.
The Role
This isn't your average Area Manager role.
At Jewells, we're building something special. Following rapid UK growth, we're preparing for our next exciting chapter, with expansion across London and the South East and our sights firmly set on becoming a global brand.
We're looking for an experienced multi-site retail leader who is passionate about developing people, creating exceptional customer experiences and delivering outstanding commercial results.
You'll thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where no two days are the same. Things move quickly here, so you'll need to be adaptable, resilient and excited by change rather than challenged by it.
We're looking for someone who:
Has proven experience leading multiple retail stores.
Loves coaching, developing and inspiring high-performing teams.
Is passionate about delivering exceptional customer experiences.
Can balance commercial performance with people development.
Is comfortable making decisions in a fast-moving, evolving business.
Wants to play a key role in shaping the future of a growing brand.
This role will initially support stores across the UK, however, as our expansion continues, the portfolio will transition to a London and South East region. Therefore, applicants should ideally be based within or around London or the South East.
If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely influence the future of a business, develop amazing people and be part of an exciting growth journey, we'd love to hear from you.
