Premium Watch Sales Specialist - Onboard Cruise Ship

About the role

Harding+, a leading cruise retail business, is looking for experienced Watch Sales Specialists to join its onboard retail teams on cruise ships around the world. You will sell premium and luxury watches, earn up to 6% commission on watch sales, and build relationships with guests from around the world. Working at sea is very different from working on the high street: you will live and work onboard, become part of a close-knit team and develop guest relationships across the cruise.

Key responsibilities

• Welcome guests into the boutique, understand what they are looking for and recommend pieces that fit their style, occasion or collection
• Introduce guests to different watch brands, explain features and value, invite them to handle and try pieces, and guide them toward a considered purchase
• Support onboard events, presentations and promotions to create interest, generate leads and bring guests back into the boutique
• Maintain excellent product presentation and support stock and compliance processes
• Share your knowledge with the wider team

Required profile

• Proven experience selling luxury watches, with strong knowledge of premium and Swiss watch brands
• Experience guiding customers through high-value or considered purchases
• Motivation and ambition to achieve and exceed sales targets
• Confidence delivering product presentations, seminars or guest events
• A flexible, team-focused attitude and the ability to adapt to life at sea
• Fluency in English; additional languages are an advantage
• A good level of physical fitness, as the role involves being active throughout the day

What we offer

• Competitive salary plus up to 6% commission, all take-home pay
• Included accommodation and meals onboard, with no household bills while working at sea
• Support with visas and seafaring documents
• Dedicated in-house training across sales, product and brand knowledge
• Contracts of up to 6 months onboard, usually followed by 1 to 2 months at home
• On some cruise lines, the option to travel independently after the contract, with support for return travel
