Job description

About the Role:

  • Join forces with visionary designers and creative leaders to transform initial sketches into exquisite, manufacturable jewelry pieces that captivate.
  • Steer the entire product development journey-from sourcing premium materials like precious metals and gemstones to assessing feasibility, crafting prototypes, engineering costs, and providing strategic pricing insights.
  • Orchestrate sampling timelines while seamlessly coordinating with internal teams (design, sourcing, production, quality assurance) and our esteemed external partners (manufacturers, setters, gem suppliers) to ensure smooth operations.
  • Create and uphold detailed tech packs that encompass comprehensive specifications, Bills of Materials (BOMs), CAD references, finish requirements, and rigorous quality benchmarks.
  • Champion adherence to international jewelry standards (such as CIBJO and hallmarking regulations), ethical sourcing guidelines, and our brand's commitment to sustainability.
  • Participate actively in seasonal line reviews and collection planning, artfully balancing timeless staples, trend-forward pieces, and unique special editions.

About the Candidate:

  • A bachelor's degree in Jewelry Design, Product Development, Fashion Merchandising, Materials Science, or a related discipline.
  • 3 years of hands-on product development experience within the dynamic jewelry sector is a must.
  • Extensive knowledge of precious materials (gold, platinum, diamonds, colored gemstones) and the art of jewelry manufacturing processes (wax carving, casting, setting, polishing, plating).
  • Exceptional project management skills, capable of juggling multiple SKUs and meeting tight deadlines with finesse.
  • Skilled in PLM systems, Excel for cost modeling, and familiar with design software (e.g., Rhino, MatrixGold, Adobe Creative Suite) to enhance your contributions.
  • Fluency in English (both written and spoken) is essential; additional languages (French, Italian, Mandarin) are a valuable asset.
  • An eye for refined aesthetics, an intrinsic respect for craftsmanship, and unwavering attention to detail are crucial.
  • A solid understanding of luxury brand values, consumer expectations, and retail dynamics to elevate our offerings.
