Job description

Are you a beauty expert who loves connecting with people and delivering unforgettable experiences? Ready to take your skills beyond the high street and see the world while you work?
At Harding+, we create retail experiences that travel. Working at sea, you’ll meet customers from every corner of the globe, building genuine connections and delivering moments they’ll remember long after their holiday ends. We partner with leading cruise lines and global brands to create retail experiences that stand out—recognised by winning Cruise Retailer of the Year in 2022, 2023 and 2025.

A role where no two days feel the same

Life on board is fast-moving, social and full of variety. One day you could be helping a guest find their perfect fragrance; the next, hosting a beauty event or supporting a makeover that transforms someone’s evening.
You’ll use your product knowledge and natural confidence with people to create a warm, personalised experience, understanding what each customer needs and bringing our brands to life in an engaging and authentic way.
You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll be part of a supportive onboard team, learning together, sharing successes, and building skills that will stay with you throughout your career.

What You’ll Bring

You’ll already have experience working in beauty, alongside a background in retail or sales in a customer-facing environment. This means you’re confident recommending products, understanding customer needs, and delivering a high standard of service.
You know how to build rapport quickly, start conversations with ease, and guide customers towards the right purchase in a way that feels natural and personalised.
We’re looking for someone who is motivated to keep learning and developing. You don’t need to know every brand inside out but you should be curious, open to feedback, and willing to step outside your comfort zone. That could be demonstrating products, supporting in-store events, or speaking to small groups.
You’ll also bring a positive, team-focused mindset and the adaptability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where every day is different.

What You’ll Gain

This is more than a job it’s an experience that builds both your confidence and your career.

• Competitive salary with generous commission- all take home pay
• Included Accommodation and meals provided onboard
• No household bills while you are working at sea
• Support with necessary visas and seafaring documents
• Dedicated in-house training across sales, product and brand knowledgeThe opportunity to travel the world while earning
• Contracts of up to 6 months onboard, usually followed by 1 to 2 months at home between contracts
• On selected cruise lines, the opportunity to travel independently after your contract, with support for your return travel home afterwards
