THE OPPORTUNITY
Following the successful launch of our first flagship store in Milton Keynes in November last year, we’re entering an exciting new phase of growth and are looking for an exceptional Regional Manager to lead the rollout of future store openings and shape the long-term success of our UK retail estate across Joma Jewellery and Katie Loxton.
This is a highly influential, hands-on leadership role where you will take ownership of regional performance, team capability, and customer experience, while working closely with Head Office to help define and scale our retail strategy. During your first three months, you will spend 3–4 days per week in store, establishing strong foundations, embedding effective ways of working, and gaining first-hand insight into our teams, customers, and retail performance. You will also have the opportunity to spend time at our stunning Head Office in Banbury, Oxfordshire to connect and collaborate with key head office teams.
As Regional manager you will make an impact by driving commercial performance, building high-performing store teams, leading new store openings, and acting as the voice of retail—using insight, data, and customer feedback to influence strategy and continuous improvement across the business.
This role offers the opportunity to combine strategic thinking with visible, hands-on leadership. You’ll directly manage Store Managers, develop future retail leaders, and ensure every store delivers an exceptional, consistent brand experience while meeting ambitious sales and profitability targets.
If you are a commercial, people-focused retail leader who thrives in a fast-growing, multi-site environment, then this may be the perfect position for you!
