Assistant Store Manager

WHO WE ARE:The FoundRae Collection is more than jewelry. The pieces are modern heirlooms, ones that allow the wearer to express something of themself to the world. The FoundRae collection is intended to become part of the wearer, a second skin, an expression of identity and of personal values.The collection is founded on a lexicon of archetypal, mythological and classical symbols with the intention of inspiring the wearer to take the wisdom passed down through generations and apply that to one's own life. FoundRae is a reminder, one we wear against our hearts or on our hands, of our capacity for change and growth. When you wear one of these pieces, you are announcing to yourself and to the world that everything you want and everything you want to be is already inside you - all you have to do is claim it.WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: Assistant Store ManagerPOSITION SCOPE: The Assistant Store Manager will work closely with the Store Manager and leadership team to elevate the in-store experience by sharing the FoundRae mission and ensuring each client encounter contributes to and builds ongoing, trusting relationships to drive sales.
