About the position
Mejuri is the category-defining fine jewelry brand redefining luxury, your way. Feeling disconnected from an industry that typically markets to men, co-founder and CEO Noura Sakkijha leveraged her learnings as a third-generation jeweler to rethink the way women purchase jewelry—for themselves. In only seven years, and with a team of over 75% women, Mejuri has shipped over one million orders and opened retail stores across the globe, all while introducing new products weekly. As part of Noura’s original vision to empower women to invest in themselves, the brand launched the Empowerment Fund to support underrepresented women and non-binary individuals with the tools to empower themselves. Mejuri continues to reach new customers through exciting community initiatives and expansion into international markets, such as the UK, Australia and Germany. We are a team of retailers, creatives, technologists and strategists, and we are looking for someone special to join our team. At Mejuri, we’re not your run-of-the-mill piercing studio—we’re a vibrant community of artists, explorers, and jewelry enthusiasts. As we expand our reach across Canada, the US, UK, and Australia, we’re embarking on an exhilarating journey, and we want you to be part of it!
