About Luneia Brands
Luneia Brands is bringing some of the most exciting and fast-growing Korean beauty brands to the UK luxury retail market.
We are building a portfolio of innovative, culturally relevant beauty brands that are shaping what’s next in beauty. From breakthrough products to emerging trends, our ambition is to connect customers with the brands they will be talking about next.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Retail Counter Manager who is commercially driven, culturally connected and passionate about creating exceptional customer experiences.
The Role
This is not your typical Counter Manager role.
We're looking for a commercial, entrepreneurial and K-beauty obsessed leader to own the success of our new counter within a fast-paced, luxury retail environment.
You’ll understand that K-beauty is about more than skincare. It’s a constantly evolving culture driven by innovation, ingredients, rituals and social trends. You’ll know how to translate that energy into an exciting, accessible and commercially successful retail experience.
What You’ll Do
- Own the numbers: Drive sales, KPIs and productivity, constantly looking for opportunities to outperform and activate in-store.
- Lead from the front: Inspire, coach and develop your team to become confident K-beauty experts and exceptional brand ambassadors.
- Know your customer: Build genuine relationships and create a personalised experience that makes K-beauty feel exciting, relevant and accessible.
- Be ahead of the trend: Stay close to Korean beauty culture, emerging ingredients, hero products and viral moments — turning what’s trending into commercial opportunity.
- Bring K-beauty to life: Understand how TikTok, social culture, creators and community influence beauty discovery — and translate this into the physical retail experience, educating customers and driving conversion through engaging product stories.
- Look beyond the counter: Identify key moments in-store and learn from brands around you to deliver standout launches, activations and events that generate footfall.
- Think like an owner: Spot opportunities, solve problems and take action. We want someone who sees what could be better and takes initiative to make it happen.
- Share what you see: Bring customer, competitor and market insight back to the wider Luneia team.
- Set the standard: Maintain exceptional luxury standards across service, presentation, stock and operations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
