your missions

• Working in collaboration with the various Cartier Switzerland departments, you will be responsible for the boutique's commercial and operational performance by improving the main retail efficiency indicators, developing the team's skills and optimising operational costs.
• As an experienced and exemplary manager, you will create a positive and motivating environment that encourages performance, learning and personal development. Managing, training and developing your team gives you a sense of fulfilment and gives everyone the opportunity to contribute to our collective success. Developing your employees’ skills and optimising the organisation of the boutique life in an agile way are key to achieving and surpassing the objectives set. Creative and proactive, you will translate the boutique's strategy and ambitions into individual and collective priorities and objectives on a daily basis.

You will be approachable, engaging and professional at all times, and demonstrate an excellent level of self-awareness.  
• Working closely with the sales and communications teams, you will ensure that the customer is constantly at the heart of your actions at all levels of the organisation, in strict compliance with the Maison's image and strategy. Guaranteeing the perfect orchestration of the customer experience, you will bring to bear at the highest level our expertise in terms of hospitality, personalised experiences and event programming. 
• Attentive to the smallest detail, uncompromisingly demanding but agile at all times, you will ensure the quality and enrichment of our database and its strategic and tactical activation in the service of our stated ambition: to engage and surprise our customers of yesterday, today and tomorrow. 
• You will be responsible for ensuring that the customer strategy, the customer action plan and the boutique's annual events programme are fully deployed to enhance its appeal and influence. 
• In compliance with the policies, procedures and directives of our Maison, you will supervise operations and be responsible for promoting a culture of efficiency and continuous improvement at all levels of the organisation.
