About the Role
Our independent jewellers are an important part of our UK business, and we're evolving how we support this growing customer base.

As an Independent Account Executive, you'll manage a national portfolio of independent jewellers, using sales data, customer insight and commercial thinking to identify opportunities, improve performance and make sure each account has the right brands, ranges and stock.

• Identify dormant, declining or low-potential accounts and recommend appropriate next steps.
• Help independent jewellers transition to our digital ordering and account management systems, providing coaching and support where needed.
• Build strong relationships with customers and support their buying decisions through data, product knowledge and commercial insight.
• Support new account onboarding and assess the potential of prospective independent jewellers.
• Work closely with Sales Managers to make sure face-to-face support is focused where it can have the greatest impact.
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, BA, Customer Operations and Visual Merchandising to improve customer performance and experience.
• Provide regular reporting and insight on the independent channel, highlighting trends, opportunities and areas for action.

• Confident communicator who enjoys building relationships with customers.
• Proactive, curious and comfortable working independently.
• A genuine interest in developing a career in sales and commercial account management.
• Experience in watches, jewellery, fashion, accessories or another premium consumer/lifestyle industry is desirable.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to customers when required.

About Us

Movado Group was originally created in 1961 as the North American Watch Company. Its founder, Gedalio Grinberg, was a refugee from Cuba who quickly became a legend in the watch industry. Pioneering the luxury watch business, Grinberg gained acclaim through his many widespread accomplishments, including his contribution to building the Piaget brand, the rescue and revitalization of the Movado brand and his efforts to rally Swiss forces during the quartz crisis of the 1970s. Gedalio Grinberg laid the foundation for what has become, under the successful leadership of his son, Efraim Grinberg, a $500+ million watch company.

Today, Movado Group is a major player in the watch industry worldwide, offering exciting career opportunities and a strong portfolio of ten widely respected brands: Movado, EBEL, Concord, MVMT, Olivia Burton, Coach Watches, HUGO BOSS Watches, Lacoste Watches, Tommy Hilfiger Watches and Calvin Klein Watches.
