Sell premium and luxury watches at sea, earn up to 6% commission on watch sales, and build relationships with guests from around the world.
We’re looking for experienced Watch Sales Specialists to join our onboard retail teams, working on cruise ships around the world.
This is a unique opportunity for someone with proven experience selling luxury watches. You’ll need strong product knowledge, confidence with premium and Swiss watch brands, and the ability to guide guests through a considered, high-value purchase with expertise and care.
Working at sea is very different from working on the high street. You’ll live and work onboard, become part of a close-knit team, and have the opportunity to develop guest relationships across the cruise. Some guests may buy in the moment. Others may return several times before making a decision. Your role is to guide that journey with patience, knowledge and strong commercial instinct.
This is a chance to combine luxury watch sales, travel and excellent earning potential, with the opportunity to earn up to 6% commission on premium watch sales, on top of salary.
About Harding+
Harding+ is a leading cruise retail business, working closely with cruise line partners and brand partners to make every cruise better. Our onboard boutiques offer guests a carefully selected range of products across categories including watches, fine jewellery, fashion, beauty, liquor, confectionery and logo products.
We are proud to have been recognised as Cruise Retailer of the Year in 2022, 2023 and 2025, reflecting our focus on outstanding service, strong brand partnerships and memorable guest experiences.
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.

- You’ll know when to give space, when to continue the conversation, and when to move naturally towards commitment.
- You’ll also support onboard events, presentations and promotions, using these moments to create interest, generate leads and bring guests back into the boutique.
- Alongside this, you’ll maintain excellent product presentation, support stock and compliance processes, and share your knowledge with the wider team.
This role is about more than product knowledge. It requires presence, composure and the ability to build trust with guests who may be considering a significant purchase.
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone with proven experience selling luxury watches. This role would suit someone who has worked with premium or Swiss watch brands and understands how to sell through product knowledge, storytelling, trust and a consultative guest experience. You will have:
