Overview
Help lead ELEMIS’ No. 1 store across the UK and Ireland
Set amid the rolling countryside of County Kildare, Kildare Village is one of Ireland’s most prestigious luxury shopping destinations. Its beautifully landscaped, open-air setting is just an hour south-west of central Dublin and ideally connected to Cork, Limerick, Galway and beyond—attracting a discerning clientele from across Ireland and around the world.
This is a rare opportunity to become a key leader within ELEMIS’ highest-performing store across the UK and Ireland. As Assistant Business Manager, you’ll work in close partnership with the Business Manager to drive the success of a fast-paced, high-volume luxury retail business, inspire a talented team of seven and deliver a client experience that reflects the exceptional standards of both ELEMIS and Kildare Village.
Acting as a role model on the shop floor, you’ll combine outstanding personal sales with hands-on coaching, strong commercial awareness and operational excellence. You’ll help maximise every opportunity for growth, develop the team’s confidence and expertise, and build meaningful client relationships that inspire loyalty.
For an ambitious luxury retail professional ready to take the next step in leadership, this is an exceptional opportunity to make a visible impact, strengthen your management experience and help take our flagship location to its next level of success.
