About Us

bluboho is on a mission to mark moments and tell stories through beautiful jewelry. We are a team of high achievers who love to create the unimaginable. We design all of our pieces right here in Canada using ethically sourced stones and recycled metals. Come work for a high-growth company where you get to have a voice, make decisions, set goals and achieve them. We can’t wait to meet you…

We are not looking for a manager. We are looking for a storyteller, a closer, a human connector — someone who walks into a room and immediately makes every person in it feel seen. Someone who already loves us, already wears jewelry with meaning, and is ready to lead the most important store in our fleet.

Queen Street West is bluboho's flagship. It sits at the intersection of Spadina and Queen — one of the most culturally alive corners in Canada — and it is where our most intimate, highest-stakes guest experiences happen every single day. The person who leads this store will be the best Beloved consultant in the company. They will close engagement ring sales with the confidence of someone who has done it a hundred times and the warmth of someone doing it for the very first time.

Who You Are

• A brand fan first. You already know bluboho. You wear fine jewelry with intention. You understand what it means to invest in a piece that marks a moment — and you can speak to that meaning fluently, personally, and without a script.
• An entrepreneurial empath. You think like a business owner and feel like a connector. You hold your store's P&L; with the same care you hold a guest's story. You are energized by targets, not intimidated by them, because you know that great sales are the natural result of great relationships.
• The best storyteller in the room. You can connect with anyone — the nervous partner shopping for an engagement ring, the woman treating herself for the first time, the guest who 'is just looking.' You listen so deeply that guests feel

understood before you've even shown them a single piece. Then you tell them a story about that piece that makes it impossible to leave without it.

• A confident, decisive leader. Your team follows you because you lead with love and hold the line with clarity. You give feedback that lands, you develop people deliberately, and you make hard decisions without losing warmth. You are the

example — on the floor, in the consultation room, every day.

• Performance-driven, always. You track your numbers. You know your AOV, your conversion rate, your Beloved pipeline.
• You feel the gap between where you are and your goal, and you close it — creatively, relentlessly, and with a smile. You celebrate your team's wins loudly and coach their gaps privately and consistently.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Lead the Beloved experience — this is your primary mission.

• Own the Beloved consultation pipeline across Queen Street and provide oversight and coaching across the fleet
• Be the subject matter expert in engagement rings, gemology, and the emotional arc of every Beloved appointment
• Close high-AOV ring sales with confidence, empathy, and deep product knowledge
• Develop and coach your connectors to become exceptional Beloved consultants in their own right
• Build the Beloved community organically through events, clienteling, and genuine human relationships

Run the flagship like you own it.

• Set and execute the store's sales strategy — monthly, quarterly, annually
• Analyze performance data daily and take action without being asked
• Manage payroll, scheduling, and operating costs with the discipline of a true business owner
• Maintain an immaculate physical environment that reflects the luxury and warmth of the brand
• Ensure every operational standard is met with integrity — from opening checklist to cycle count

Build a team of long lost friends.

• Recruit, hire, and develop connectors who embody the bluboho spirit
• Lead a culture of love, accountability, and continuous growth
• Give feedback in real time, celebrate wins loudly, and coach gaps with honesty and care
• Identify and develop your successors — great leaders build more leaders
• Create a store environment where your team genuinely loves to come to work

Create an unforgettable guest experience, every single time.

• Model the Long Lost Friend experience — make every guest feel genuinely known
• Resolve guest concerns with grace, speed, and generosity
• Drive community events, designer collaborations, and sip+shop moments that deepen loyalty
• Ensure the guest experience at Queen Street sets the standard for the entire company

What You’ll Bring

Required:

• Demonstrated experience selling engagement rings or fine jewelry at a consultative level — this is non-negotiable for success at this location
• 2–3 years of retail management experience with a proven track record of hitting sales targets
• The confidence to close a significant sale and the humility to listen first, always
• Exceptional interpersonal skills — you can read a room, build rapport in minutes, and hold a conversation that makes people feel at home
• A storyteller's instinct: you don't recite features, you create meaning
• Entrepreneurial ownership mentality — you do not wait to be told what to do
• Availability for full-time hours including evenings, weekends, and holidays
• Ability to travel within the GTA to support other locations as needed

Preferred

• GIA certification or formal gemology training
• Experience in luxury retail or fine jewelry
• An existing community in Toronto's creative or fashion world
