Job Description

Granado, the iconic Brazilian brand is looking for a STORE MANAGER to run its first concept store in London! Would you like to join us?

About Granado:

Founded in 1870 by the Portuguese Jose Coxito Granado, the Granado story began by selling natural remedies created from plants, herbs and flowers native to his home, in Rio de Janeiro's mountainous region. The brand's first store was established in the heart of downtown Rio de Janeiro, where the historic shop still stands today.

The quality and effectiveness of the products soon made Granado one of the official pharmaceutical suppliers to the Royal Court. For that reason, the brand was given the title of 'Official Pharmacy of the Imperial Family of Brazil' by the Emperor D. Pedro II, in 1880.

Emblematic in its country of origin, Granado has been passed down through the generations and is part of the Brazilian heritage.

With 153 years of history in Brazil, Granado is expanding overseas. The brand currently has stores in France, England, Portugal, and Belgium and a remarkable presence at the most iconic department stores such as Galleries Lafayette and BHV Marais.

And our exciting journey continues to our next destination: London.
