• Play a key role in onboarding and developing new team members.

Project Coordination & Communication:

• Ensure seamless communication with clients via email, phone, and WhatsApp.
• Coordinate with internal teams to track order progress and manage logistics.
• Update CRM systems and maintain accurate client records to ensure continuity and clarity.
• Prepare accurate, thoughtful quotes reflecting previous orders and bespoke requirements.
• Identify upselling opportunities by introducing new products, seasonal lines, or updated designs.
• Track and report revenue against targets, and implement strategies to close any gaps.
• Produce regular reports on team activity and revenue performance.
• Contribute to department strategy, new processes, and IT system enhancements.

About You:

• Experience in account management, ideally in luxury fashion brands or working with HNWI's.
• Experience training, mentoring, and developing a team.
• Experience implementing processes and systems and improving the customer journey.
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with a confident, client-first approach.
• Proactive, well-organized, and capable of managing multiple projects under pressure.
• Tech-savvy, with experience using CRMs and Google Workspace.
• Willingness to travel for meetings and international events when required.
