3. Operational Excellence & Brand Advocacy:

Adhere strictly to all premium retail operational procedures, including secure cash handling, inventory management, and loss prevention. Act as a professional Brand Ambassador, ensuring all interactions reflect the discretion, courtesy, and high standards associated with our business. Participate actively in brand training sessions, masterclasses, and exclusive in-store events to continually enhance product knowledge and service delivery.

A genuine appreciation for the history of pharmacy/apothecary, and an ability to connect modern luxury trends with John Bell & Croyden's 200+ year legacy.

Desirable:

Proficiency in a second language relevant to our global clientele (e.g. Arabic ). Formal training or certification in perfumery, cosmetology, or luxury clienteling.

Exceptional communication skills, characterized by eloquence, patience, and the ability to conduct an engaging one-on-one consultation. Impeccable personal grooming and presentation, suitable for a London luxury flagship location.
