Hello everyone;
I am conducting a candidate search for a Sales /Operations Manager
for Fine Jewelry Designer Carl Blackburn. Since you are much better
connected in the Fine Jewelry arena than I am, I am hoping I can
network professionally with you.
Since this is a new industry for me, I would really be grateful if
you could forward the job description (see below) to someone with
the right skill sets who would be interested in learning more, and
also point me in the right direction as to where I should network,
post the job and find the appropriate candidates.
Please note that this position does pay six figures, the person
should preferably be located on the East Coast (however, depending
on the candidate’s experience, we can take a look at other
locations), and the person MUST have high-end jewelry wholesale
experience, and be ready to travel a lot.
Thanks for all your help and I look forward to hearing from you, one
way or the other, soon.
About the Designer:

sense, the internationally branded company offers a full range of
revivalist jewelry. Each piece is hand-engraved, hand-milgrained,
and set with finer quality diamonds and gemstones by expanding teams
of master platinumsmiths and lapidary artisans. These revivalist
collections range from garden-inspired eternity bands and micro-set

that elevated fine jewelry from the realm of simple ornamentation to
the realm of wearable art.
