Job description

At Baobab Collection, we create objects that turn a space into an experience.

Since 2004, we've been crafting exceptional candles and diffusers — where as much care goes into the container as into the scent itself. Every piece is designed as a decorative object in its own right, at the intersection of design, fragrance, and luxury living.

Present on all five continents, available in our flagship stores in Europe and the U.S. and in over 500 prestigious locations — including Harrods and Le Bon Marché — Baobab Collection has established itself as a global reference for olfactory and decorative atmosphere.

Joining Baobab Collection means being part of a fast-growing brand with a strong identity and a clear vision: making every interior a unique world.

• Take part in all aspects of store management: visual merchandising, inventory management, CRM, clienteling.
• Ensure the opening, closing, and running of the store in the absence of the store manager, including the secure handling of cash operations.
• Always act as an ambassador for Baobab Collection.

YOUR PROFILE

You speak Dutch fluently (excellent articulation), and proficiency in English is essential.

You are familiar with luxury codes and have a perfect presentation.

• Experience in a similar position, ideally in the luxury, home fragrance, or decor sectors (other backgrounds considered).
• A true passion for home fragrances, decor, and the art of living.
