Retail Showroom Manager, San Francisco Showroom

The Colleen Mauer Designs Retail Showroom Manager is a warm and welcoming showroom hostess or host–an expert at building no-pressure, comfortable experiences and relationships.

In addition to being the first face that customers see, the Retail Showroom Manager is also the project guru who organizes all company events, and who contributes to keeping our San Francisco space tidy, organized, and enjoyable.

We are looking for an individual who will create a connection with each person who walks in the door, and who is passionate about the natural, classic beauty we all possess. This person loves the excitement of events, variety, business building, and being an influence on a growing team.

This person is an ever-grounded, flexible doer who takes pride in keeping our environment looking beautiful; a detail-oriented self-starter who can balance multi-tasking with following through. We are looking for an individual who enjoys a dynamic work environment where projects and responsibilities change day to day.

About us: Colleen Mauer Designs is a small jewelry design company founded in 2001 by industrial designer Colleen Mauer. Each piece in the CMD collection is handcrafted with special care by a team of production artists in San Francisco and upstate New York.

Our collections are sold throughout the United States and abroad, and because our clients have varied styles, we pride ourselves on creating jewelry that can be appreciated by all walks of life. To support that, we take special care to create a working team of exceptionally creative, caring, hard working people who are committed to impeccable service.

We are growing by leaps and bounds so a career at CMD is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, to learn, and to take pride in your contributions.

As our Retail Showroom Manager, you do not need to know about jewelry production before you start, but you need to be a quick learner, able to jump in and become well-versed in our design process, and to be enthusiastic about sharing that information and our story with our clients.

People who are not outgoing, not flexible, not open to feedback, nor great communicators need not apply. You are meant for this role if you are a kind, solid team player with a strong interest in and appreciation for jewelry and aesthetics.

Ultimately, we are looking for someone who has a talent for inspiring people to have fun, dotting I’s and crossing T’s, delighting people, and who is wholeheartedly enthusiastic about growing with our business. If this is you, we are excited to meet you!
