Job Description
Mekhann is a London-based design house specialising in hand-embroidered silk works. Our Chelsea Showroom is not a typical retail environment. It is a quiet, visually led space where rhythm, discretion and consistency define the client experience.
We are hiring a full-time Showroom Assistant to take responsibility for the daily running of the store.
This is a front-of-house role, but not a traditional sales position. You will welcome clients, maintain the atmosphere of the space, and support the daily rhythm. Sales may occur, but only as a natural extension of presence — not persuasion.
The role reports directly to the Showroom Manager and requires a steady sense of pace, attentiveness to detail and an instinctive understanding of when to act and when to hold stillness.
Key Responsibilities
* Open and close the store each day (keyholder responsibility)
* Maintain the spatial rhythm and visual order of the store throughout the day
* Prepare the space before and after client visits with minimal instruction
* Receive deliveries, maintain stock flow and manage packaging materials
* Support light admin tasks (Shopify, order prep, basic coordination)
* Assist with physical preparation of product selections and online fulfilment
* Support the founder and team when needed, without overstepping the tone or role
* Maintain the back-of-house with clarity, cleanliness and structure
Who This Is For
* You have experience in luxury retail, boutique hospitality or founder-led spaces
* You are calm, reliable and observant
* You prefer operating in refined, structured spaces rather than fast-paced environments
* You notice what needs doing without being asked
* You are comfortable welcoming clients and setting the tone, without needing to dominate the space
* You understand the responsibility that comes with holding keys to a Chelsea store
* You are happy working independently, with care and consistency
