Category Manager, Merchandising - Fine Jewelry

Since 2015, Mejuri has reimagined what fine jewelry can be in a modern world—shifting it from a traditional gift to to a personal choice rooted in self-expression. Founded by third-generation jeweller Noura Sakkijha, the brand was built on a simple idea: fine jewelry shouldn’t require a special occasion, and it should never come with guilt. It’s about celebrating yourself—your style, your life, your everyday. Mejuri meets customers where they are—online, in app, and through a growing global retail footprint of 58+ stores worldwide.
