Team Member

Kent Jewelry is a specialized design house and custom jeweler that designs, builds, and does all benchwork in-house. While assisting clients is a major component of the job, we try to play to the interests our employees have by pairing them with existing needs within the company. As a small but growing company, it is common for members of our team to fulfill multiple roles. Some of our needs include:

· Marketing expertise – specifically for e-commerce and social media

· Photography experience, especially any experience with product photography

· Jewelry design experience, either drawn or through CAD design (BONUS: Matrix-Gold Experience)

· Retail expertise in either jewelry or fashion

About Kent's:
Kent Jewelry has been serving south-central Missouri for decades with a second location in Kirkwood since 2021 . More than a typical fine jewelry store, Kent’s focuses on designing and casting custom jewelry completely in-house. The company is Missouri’s only Fairmined certified jeweler meaning that our custom products are made with sustainably and ethically sourced materials. We are looking for a teammate who shares our values, will learn the ropes, and will work with us to continue to build the business beyond retail and into manufacturing and artistry.

The ideal candidate should, at a minimum:

· Enjoy talking and engaging with customers from all backgrounds and walks of life

· Have an eye for design, quality, and attention to deal, and carry pride in one's work

· Be trustworthy with valuables and have a quick mind for basic math and calculation

· Possess an interest in fashion and jewelry, and/or an interest in art and making things

· Be comfortable with working on projects in a team while self-managing their responsibilities independently

Compensation: $16-$25/hr depending on skill and experience level. Candidates with a high amount of experience are encouraged to apply, and compensation could be adjusted further accordingly.

Hours: Tuesday-Friday 10:30-6:00 and every other Saturday from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Students who may be navigating a class schedule are encouraged to still apply.

Why work with us?
You'll be working in a role with varied responsibilities and the ability to influence your work. Basic production must be met, but opportunities exist to develop your interests, to expand the shop's capabilities into new areas, reduce cost and production time, and learn on company time.

Why not work with us?

This position requires individuals who do not need to be micromanaged, are highly detail-oriented, self-starters, and capable of juggling multiple projects at once. If that does not sound like you then this may not be a great fit.

Interested candidates should submit a resume and a brief 3-4 sentence overview describing why they feel they are a good fit for this position. Submission of portfolios, personal project summaries, or anything else that shows off talent and interests is encouraged if applicable. Candidates will be notified within 1-2 weeks of the application if they will be invited for an interview or not.
