Overview
Inspired by Japanese craftsmanship, Sora is the first affordable luxury and experiential retail brand for bespoke handcrafted jewellery. Our customers can design their own ring, choosing from a range of metals, widths, patterns, finishes, and personal engravings, handcrafted to order in 10 – 15 minutes. We also host evening workshops where our customers can make their own rings guided by our team.
Role
As a Creative Retail Associate, your core focus is to guide customers through their design options and handcraft their ring using simple tools and techniques. No jewellery making experience is required and we will provide ongoing support and training – being fully ramped within 4 – 6 weeks.
If you’re creative, enjoy making things, have jewellery making experience, or want to learn a new craft – and you have the ambition and passion to be part of a team building a new and innovative experiential retail brand from the ground up – we would love to hear from you.
Career Progression
We are deeply committed to helping our colleagues grow and reach their goals. With additional stores planned for this year, and ambitions to scale across Europe and the USA with the support of our investors, there will be exceptional career progression opportunities across marketing, product design, store management, and operations.
This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to join the small and growing team in our first store on Low Petergate and play a role in our mission to make bespoke handcrafted jewellery accessible to everyone and establish Sora as the market leader for personalised jewellery.
Please note – this is a customer facing role requiring weekend work as standard. Occasionally, evening shifts 11:30AM – 8:30PM are required when workshops are full. (once to twice per week maximum)
