Job description

This is a hands‑on leadership role, combining team development with an active presence on the shop floor and in daily boutique operations. The position is fixed‑term until 31 March 2027, with the possibility of a permanent contract.

Lead the boutique with full ownership of commercial performance, client experience, team management and daily operations.

Must-have

• At least 5 years of experience in premium or luxury retail, including proven experience in a Store Manager, Assistant Store Manager or comparable leadership role.
• Strong commercial acumen, with a solid understanding of clienteling, sales targets and key retail KPIs such as conversion, average basket and UPT.

• Strong organisational and operational skills, with the ability to prioritise, follow through and take ownership of boutique performance.
• Fluent French and English, with flexibility to work weekends, public holidays and peak trading periods.
