About This Role
Overview
David Webb is seeking a highly motivated and commercially driven Assistant Manager for our new
Abu Dhabi boutique at The Grove, Saadiyat Island.
A minimum of 8 years’ experience in luxury or high jewelry retail is required, with a strong foundation in client service, sales, and team support.
Candidates must already be based in the UAE — relocation will not be provided.
Company Overview
Founded in New York City in 1948, David Webb is an iconic, luxury design House whose
namesake founder redefined high jewelry.
Known for creating exquisitely crafted, bold and unique jewelry, David Webb is widely considered one of the most influential designers of the 20th century.
Today, each David Webb creation is imbued with artisanal excellence and handwork, while drawing inspiration from a vast archive of over 40,000 original renderings, records, and design ideas.
Form is essential in all David Webb jewels, and bold color, hand-hammered gold, intricate enamel work, and whimsical animal pieces continue to be prominently featured in the company's collections.
We are headquartered in an historic Neo-Classical building on Madison Avenue in New York's Upper East Side.
Over 30 long-tenured master jewelers continue many of David Webb's own traditions, hand-crafting each piece in a workshop directly above the Company's flagship boutique.
In addition to its New York City flagship, David Webb currently has boutiques in Beverly Hills, CA, Doha, and is expanding its presence throughout MENA with its newest boutique at The Grove.
