Job description
Polène, a French leather goods brand, was founded in 2016 and stands out for its exceptional handcrafted production. The brand creates timeless products with organic designs directly inspired by nature.
Against the backdrop of strong growth and international expansion, we are restructuring our activities in 2025 and surrounding ourselves with the best talents to develop solid expertise at all levels of our organization. Our resolute artistic positioning strengthens the development of our handbag and jewelry collections—supported by 800 artisans in our workshops in Ubrique, Spain.
When Polène arrives in Denmark with the opening of our very first store, we are writing a new chapter in our history. Join this unique adventure, embody our company's values, and promote our French expertise in the heart of Europe.

2. Operations and Sales Management

Lead daily morning briefings to develop the team and ensure a high service level. Gather and share important information from the store to promote sales development.
Offer customers exceptional service and ensure Polène's customer journey is followed (customer approach, development, loyalty).
Be responsible for opening/closing the store, oversee the store's merchandising, and ensure all procedures, safety regulations, internal requirements, and legislation are complied with.
3. Being an Ambassador for the Polène Brand
Regularly provide qualitative and quantitative feedback on customer flow and customer types to optimize store layout and zoning—while ensuring high quality in reception and advice.
Handle all forms of conflicts to ensure excellent customer service and protect the brand's image. Also responsible for processing and following up on complaints and service inquiries in accordance with company procedures.
