WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

Every day you’ll have the opportunity to work on projects that bring art, creativity and jewelry into people’s lives. You’ll be focused on the things you truly LOVE to do -- supporting your CEO.

We work in a really fun relaxed environment. While we take our roles seriously, we like to have fun and we’re all working towards the company vision. We have a virtual team spread around the world who love working together. The position is flexible on timing with the exception of in person meetings with the CEO in Scottsdale or Fountain Hills 1-2 times per week. Your job responsibilities will vary week by week making this position exciting. If you’re interested in the jewelry industry, you’ll have an inside look because you’ll be working closely with vendors and manufacturers to create beautiful designs (don’t worry, Tracy will be doing the design piece).

Plus, when you’re not in person working with Tracy, you’ll have the flexibility to work at home in your PJs or at a local coffee shop. The goal is to support you in keeping you motivated to do excellent work!

You’ll be challenged to “think outside the box” on a daily basis while being supported with tools and mentoring to help you get the job done well. Plus, one of our core values is to always be growing and learning so we’ll be here to support you on your journey as you continue to evolve. We are business minded but an environment of FUN and excitement are important to all of us...so let’s do this!

We like to be nimble and flexible so this isn’t a typical 9-5 job. There will be times when we are working hard on deadlines but also times when you can take the afternoon off to enjoy the sun, grab lunch with a friend or pick up the kids from school.

What’s important to us is that there is a strong communication channel, that you are getting your responsibilities completed on time or early and you’re taking responsibilities off the CEO’s plate (and making their role easier).

So whatcha think? Maybe a great fit?? We’d love to know more about you…..
