Hi I'm Neil Watson, owner of Watsons Jewellers. All of us here are proud of the work we do and the lives we light up. We love to surprise and delight our clientele, and over 1,000 5-star Google reviews brings a smile to our faces. And as we continue to enjoy much demand for our amazing jewellery, the time has come for us to grow our team.

This is your opportunity to potentially join us as our Sales Associate.

If you have a genuine enthusiasm for the jewellery industry, and you're ready to escape the rut where you're just another number - and instead be valued, developed and rewarded as an individual contributor - then read on

Who are you?

Well, firstly, if people generally describe you as:

• Pretty cluey - and money smart (you know how a profitable sale needs to be put together);
• Goal driven - you love winning (gracefully);
• An iron fist in a velvet glove - happy to state your professional opinion and stand your ground, in a diplomatic way;
• A natural socialiser... you engage others in conversation with ease - but stay focused on the main thing;
• A 'tap dancer'... you know when and how to be 'creative in the moment' to secure a sale;
• Optimistic... but not blindly so. Nobody pulls the wool over your eyes;
• Action-oriented. Decisive.
• A client-advocate;
• Somewhat of a natural leader - you will happily own the sales function;
• A lover of facts, data, numbers - which is nicely balanced by a good 'EQ radar'.

If you have at least 3 years experience in selling luxury goods (ideally jewellery but we're flex on that) to discerning buyers, then perhaps we should meet.

The role?

Well, in simple terms you'll be helping make dreams come true. You'll be meeting with individuals and couples who are looking for something special. So, you'll be getting an understanding of what 'special' means, presenting and showcasing product, negotiating, managing margins, surprising and delighting with your exceptional customer service and closing sales. Of course there will be sales admin and CRM entry to complete and you'll be following up leads ... all with a sense of style and sophistication, in our amazing showroom.

Why join us?

We're high performance and highly collaborative. We're small, tight knit team with a strong emphasis on our core values. People matter the most to me - people before profits always. It's a great learning environment with both professional and personal development opportunities. And we reward performance. Our business is all about building the right team to take our business in the direction we want to go. We care about our clients, and we bend over backwards to get a positive outcome for them – and that has resulted in a 4.9-star Google rating from over 1,000 delighted customers
